Julia Hofer like you've never seen her before.

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...

Oh yes, she has just as many chops on the cello as the bass too. On top of all that, she seems like the nicest person too. Don’t you just hate her?

Wow, I love it, I've just bought their record.

 

Superb Fazioli piano too, certainly my favourite brand, they sound amazing.

[petebassist]

Great composition!

That Sandberg sounds great too, think it's a Marlowe DK TT.

Jesus that’s good!!

Incredibly disappointing thread based on that title 😂

Surprised how good Stephen Merchant is on the old piano.

Everything about this was awesome apart from the camera work which made me feel a bit queasy

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?)

Top end is, like, so 5 years ago, maaahn.

I had to stop watching as it was so annoying. The cameraperson was clearly trying out their new steadycam rig. 🙂 Kept listening, though, and the performance was amazing.

Great performance, and this was exactly my thought

[Linus27]

What amazing tone, I guess its the Sandberg DK TT and one of the latest MarkBass combo's. Great tone. 

[Dood]

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.

Not the Marlowe DK, just a regular TT with aging:

Ah OK, love the tone on that - I have a super light TM4 with old flats to tone down the bright tone.

[Hellzero]

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.
