Hello everyone,
I'm a new member here and I hope I'm doing this correct
I am so happy to have finally completed my "All Bass Christmas CD" entitled...
"BASSic Christmas"

If you have any questions on the tracks, fell free to ask.
As a musician and performer, Christmas music is a part of our life from November, December and sometimes even into January.
Musicians, especially jazz musicians,are always looking for unique ways to perform pieces that we have played over 1000 times.
We experiment, searching for a fresh approach out of creativity or
sometimes just boredom.
There are Christmas CD's featuring steel drums, pan flute, and even zithers.
Why not bass? I've always had a repertoire of arrangements for bass, including Christmas songs.
I started teaching some easy arrangements to my students.
By doing that, I
discovered all kinds of interesting possibilities, from very simple to a bit more
complex. This gave me the idea to record an "All Bass Christmas CD.
"
Everything recorded on this CD was performed on a bass.
I used an Acoustic double bass, fretless and fretted 5 string and a 4 string electric.
On some tracks I used multi basses, and some are just one bass.
Being the producer and the artist, I gave myself complete creative control
I hope you have as much fun listening to it as I did recording it.
Thanks
Baba
