HeadlessBassist Posted October 29 Posted October 29 I always suspected Julia Hofer was classically trained in some way, shape or form. Now I find out she's a Cellist like me. Interesting performance, too... 20 10 Quote

Hellzero Posted October 29 Posted October 29 Wow, I love it, I've just bought their record. Superb Fazioli piano too, certainly my favourite brand, they sound amazing. 1 Quote
petebassist Posted October 29 Posted October 29 Great composition! That Sandberg sounds great too, think it's a Marlowe DK TT. 2 Quote

stewblack Posted October 29 Posted October 29 Surprised how good Stephen Merchant is on the old piano. 5 Quote
asingardenof Posted October 29 Posted October 29 Everything about this was awesome apart from the camera work which made me feel a bit queasy 1 1 Quote
itu Posted October 29 Posted October 29 I liked the performance, especially the Fazioli hitter. Cello sound was very good, too. Nice combination of old and new. (Could someone buy the bassist a new set of strings, maybe?) 2 Quote

The cameraperson was clearly trying out their new steadycam rig. 🙂 Kept listening, though, and the performance was amazing. 1 Quote

Linus27 Posted October 30 Posted October 30 What amazing tone, I guess its the Sandberg DK TT and one of the latest MarkBass combo's. Great tone. 2 Quote
Dood Posted October 30 Posted October 30 Sounds great, it reminds me of some of the bass-forward performances by Dil Katz, Dave Ball and Phil Mulford with Barbara Thompson's Paraphernalia with Jon Hiseman on drums. Quote

Hellzero Posted November 1 Posted November 1 I received the CD yesterday and it's so good that I listened to it 3 times in a row. I can only recommend it. 5 1 Quote

Good point to recomend listening to the exceptional and recently released track “Fairchild” by Dave, that kinda touches on this kinda thing Quote
vbance Posted November 2 Posted November 2 Thanks HeadlessBassist, I've not heard of either performer but cd purchased👍 Quote
