Renaud Garcia-Fons - Oriental Bass - 1997

Here's an album that is to me a masterpiece in his category! I heard it once at a friend's while sitting around a fire and was pretty much stunned (not by alcohol or anything else but by the music i mean! lol) as a consequence i couldn't help rushing to a store to get it a few days afterwards!lol Renaud Garcia Fons is double-bass player from France but he is from Spanish origin (Catalonia) and that explains the somewhat oriental aspect of his music, though it's likewise very much influenced by classical/jazz music. There are a number of instruments on that album that is certainly as impressive as the virtuosity and profiency with which they are used! just to name but a few, there are flutes, accordion, guitar, lute, derbuka ...and so on and so forth! ah ah! well this guy isn't especially famous to my knowledge but once you'll have listened to him he'll have you in his grip and power forever!
