So I was in Canada on a trip... and I went into a music store that sold primarily classical music, Canadian folk music, ambient stuff, and jazz. Very classy store. One of the clerks came up to me cause he saw I was browsing the jazz and we started talking and he said he was a bass player and I was like ahh me too, but anyway he hands me this album
Conversations by Alain Caron. He's a Canadian bassist. The album itself is duets with him on an acoustic bass guitar (very weird but he pulls it off well and gets an bright upright sounding tone) and piano (as well as vibraphone)
The album is awesome and he is a great artist and bassist. I havent heard a bassist get a tone that speaks so much since Jaco himself. I don't know if you can get his stuff outside of Canada but he is really good.
Apparently he was in a fusion band in the 80s and now hes doing this thing which is so cool.
Anyone know him? Did I make a neat discovery or have I just been left out of the loop?
