Arco recordings....

I am listening as we speak to Edgar Meyer's Unaccompanied Cello Suites performed on the Double Bass and am loving it. Has anyone any recommendations for other arco recordings by top drawer players. Classical preferrably, solo would be good. Not a lot of great arco jazz out there (Stewart and Chambers excepted).

The first Edgar Meyer solo album is really good. It's hard for me to think of many other things like it, but there is a nice CD of Robert Black playing the music of Christian Wolff. Wolff's music isn't for everyone, but I love it. Black probably has some other solo CD's, but that's the only one I own - he's a great player.

I've got that Edgar Meyer CD too, but for something more lighthearted, you could try the London Double Bass Sound - DB ensemble pieces
This features everything from 'L'Elephant' to 'Carmen' to 'When I'm Sixty Four' to 'Wannabe' - great fun!
Also, search for 'Octobass' on Youtube - their repertoire includes Deep Purple and Beatles covers, plus classical pieces.

There is a great video of a Thomas Martin bass being made, with Tom playing an arco sound track. Worth a look/listen on this link.
