Hi!
I work at a music-shop selling jazz, and today a customer wanted to buy records with solo bass performances, no band. Preferably contemporary music or modern jazz, upright or electric. Anyone have any recommendations for me, so I can please my customer next time he comes by?
Thanks!

Hey moderators,
I know this thread is in the wrong forum, should be in recordings. Tried to delete and move it, but couldn't figure out how..sorry. 
Anyway, thanks for recommendations guys. Keep'em coming

The BEST solo bass album. I've never heard any argument to the contrary. Seriously. It's that good. |

| | Banned | | Join Date: Jul 2005 Location: Marathon Man | | Elegant Punk by Jonas Hellborg is a stunning example of a solo bass album, and AFAIK it may even be the first. Good luck finding it in your shop though. It cost me an arm and a leg to get hold of. |

It's called "L'orchestre de contrebasses". It's not solo bass performances but a band of DBs instead. Here goes a link from youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BzaF9TAFlI
