For You Lot Alain Caron - 1995 Rhythm'n Jazz

This laid past times bassist Alain Caron puts the emphasis on his bass solos in addition to electronics, although he utilizes a total jazz combo. All of the music consists of Caron originals except for a tribute to Jaco Pastorius on "Donna Lee," in addition to the colorful titles include "The Bump," "Slam the Clown," in addition to "Flight of the Bebop Bee." However, the titles are oft to a greater extent than memorable than the music, which -- although good played -- would receive got benefited from the inclusion of a few standards or amend originals. Alain Caron is an impressive virtuoso, in addition to therefore hopefully a lot to a greater extent than volition survive heard from him inwards the future.

Alain Caron IMO is the best bassist composer playing this type of music. This is a bang-up CD amongst wonderful tunes that are technically jaw dropping simply non self indulgent. 

Alain Caron is an amazing bassist, amongst a bang-up audio in addition to frightening techincal abilities. I'll recommend bassists to honor a video of his concerts, you'll acquire a lot well-nigh the techinques of bass, soloing, slapping in addition to using a vi string bass. However, this CD is a bang-up purchase every bit well, because every bit a bassist, a CD amongst an amazing bassist, particularly when he is the leader of his band.

It'\s a constant companion along life's highways. Quite literally, every bit the CD lives inwards my motorcar stereo, fix to survive punched into action, cranked upwardly in addition to for roughly serious grooving in addition to moving to receive got place. The musicianship, production values in addition to inventiveness are all maxed despite the slightly cheesy title. Make this 1 your side past times side purchase, in addition to never heed the french/english credits. Open your heed to this man's dancing fingers.
