Double Bass The Duo Thread

[fraublugher]

 

[Don Kasper]

Pianist Marc Copeland and (bassist) Gary Peacock.
Marc has a beautiful quartet recording, from 1996 called "Second Look", with John Abercrombie, Drew Gress, and Billy Hart.
I heard Marc is a former Saxophonist who found the Piano.
'Ya think?

 

[Chris Fitzgerald]

With a nice guitarist.

Nice bounce on that one. I like the drummer better.

Same pianist. I like this because we really abandon the changes. But NOT the form.

Yeah, that's a nice tune to deconstruct the A sections of. Good stuff.

Here's a clip from the Brubeck/Widelock Duo I mentioned in my first post. Cello & Guitar.

Funny, I posted a similar thread when I started playing (that was 10 years ago?). So here's what I got after all this time. (my faves in bold)

I hunted down all the Red duo material as much as I could
Red Mitchell w/ Someone else:
* Jan Johansson - Blaus
* Jim Hall - (you already know this one, right?)
* Lee Konitz - I Concentrate On You (already mentioned)
* Clark Terry : To Duke and Basie
* Warne Marsh - Big Two Vol 1 & 2
* Joe Beck - Live At Salishan
* Rich Mattheson - Life's a Take
* Karin Krog & Warne Marsh - trio album but this is worth your time!!!! Singer w/ instrumental duo

Other peeps:
Harvie S/Kenny Barron - Now Was the Time
Kenny Barron/Buster Williams - Two as One
Houston Person/Ron Carter - Something In Common, Just Between Friends, Dialogues, Nows the Time
Steve Swallow & Steve Kuhn - Two by 2
Steve Swallow & Deidre Holland - Twin Falls
Jim Hall/Ron Carter - Telephone, Live from Village West, Alone Together
Matthew Brubeck/Dave Widelock - Monk/Not Monk. This is cello w/ guitar. I found this by accident but one that hits me right "there". Worth your attention - you'll be surprised! Brubeck plays his cello like a bass.
Milt Hinton/Lance Hayward - Hayward & Hinton
Joe Pass & NHOP - Chops, Northsea Nights
John Abercrombie/Don Thompson - Witchcraft
Michael Moore/Bill Charlap - Concord Duo Series Vol 9
Rufus Reid/Michael Moore
Kenny Burrell - Tin Tin Deo - he plays a duo with Reggie Johnson on the Miss Jones track


And lest we forget:
Paul Warburton/Dale Bruning - Our Delight. Unca P just knocks this one outta there. Serious.

There. That should keep you busy.

Great list, lots of stuff I wasn't aware of, but definitely missing out 'Looking at Bird' with Archie Shepp & NHOP ...
Here as an example; with the pessimistic sound quality from YT:

& here we continue with another YT clip trio that could easily count as a duo (regarding the pronounced spaces) ...
'All the tings you are' with Joe Pass & Bob Magnusson

 

[petesenkowski]

Nancy LaMott with Jay Leonhart

 

[Don Kasper]

No Fair!!! Multi-Tracked Bass!!!(and Vocals?).

 

[Sam Dingle]

Forgive me if this has already been posted but I wanted to share this. There is a whole record of these two playing.

 

[Sean Riddle]

On Darek Oles' album "Like a Dream," he opens with five stunning duets with Brad Mehldau. Definitely worth a listen.

Suggestion: "The Duets" with NHØP and pianist Mulgrew Miller, a promotional CD of Ellington tunes for Bang & Olufsen - recorded in 1999.

Excellent work here, by both... esp the rather astonishing NHØP bass figure during the A part of "Caravan". Available on Amazon..

Thanks for this. I met Darek at a clinic once. Really great guy and teacher who was very open to sharing everything he knew. Gonna have to listen to this album.
