Double Bass Looking for new music...

[HeavyJazz]

I'm looking to expand my collection of recordings from bassists on the upright end of things... I generally hang in the electriuc world, but love the playing of Dan Berglund (EST & Tonbruket)and Lars Danielsson. I'm pretty up to date on the classic players (Holland, Carter, Peacock, etc), but looking to see if there are perhaps some more "rock-ish" groups out there with killer double bass players.

Recommendations??

(Not really a McBride or Wood fan so you can skip those genres.)

If you like the Scandinavians, I would recommend the group Phronesis, who are lead by monster bass player Jasper Hoiby - they are great live and I would recommend :

My favourite track is "Abraham's New Gift", a tune with 15 beats to the bar, split 7 and 8, where the 8 is pushed.

Missy Raines and the New Hip are rockish.
Devil Makes 3 rock out sans drums.

I'm currently listening to a rising star from Scandinavia - Marius Neset: tenor and soprano saxophones - with a good bass player - Petter Eldh.

Yes.



I just listened to the first YT...Wow and Yikes.
I'll need to listen to (and enjoy) this (much) more.
Thanks, WUTP!

Thomas Fonnesbæk never disappoints me.
From his new album with Justin Kauflin.

I could not find any mentioning of Kevin Axt at this forum; therefore, here we are.

Can you hear the doctoring of this? This has been pretty much called out as fake. If this is posted as a joke, I’m sorry, I guess I missed it.

Here is Weksler's answer:

N.B.!!!
I do not(!) have a stake whatsoever in arguing or supporting, or marketing Weksler.
I do not know him personally.

I do a lot of studio recording for money. Auto tune is pretty evident. I don’t believe in a flat earth it’s square.

Just "easy-listening" good music from a young band/trio from Finland.

Aki Rissanen piano
Antti Lötjönen bass
Teppo Mäkynen drums

 

[Whousedtoplay]

Another Scandinavian band/trio - Tingvall - playing some simplified, rhythm-Pop-ized easy-flowing music that even a beginner amateur musician (it's me) can understand.

Just to show that all Bluegrass don’t just thump one and five .
