Solo Bass albums please!

[Beepo]

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!

How about:

Jonas Hellborg - The Silent Life

Victor Wooten - Show Of Hands

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

Michael Manring- Soliloquy

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

cmewhinney beat me to it. Soliloquy by Michael Manring is great.

 

[cmewhinney]

Woohoo!

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.

ones all - dave holland
xieyi - anders jormin
blosperment suite - bänz oester

if you can track down any Dos (bass-only duets between Kira Roessler [ex-Black Flag] and Mike Watt [Minutemen/fIREHOSE]) it is worth it. some originals mixed in with some standards and jazzy sort of explorations. just the two of them riffing/talking on bass. good stuff.

Yes, Nicklas is stunning! I like Ignore the Bulldog too. A lot.

Dave Holland has some great solo DB albums. I dig the CD called "Ones All".

 

[middlebit]

Miroslav Vitous' 'Emergence'. And my vote for Manring's 'Soliloquy'.

This is a little bit off topic but your client (or anyone here!) just might be interested as well. 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:
