BPA 101 Thoughtbeetle

by Bertram Turetzky / Damon Smith

supported by

Amanda Szostek The Sounds~ You WaNtt to Here the saounds- just in and for themselfe~
Love the PAul Celan, too , inspired me to read him; to-day

Michael Oelgeschlaeger Personally, I find double bass duos quite heavy, because the instrument has such a large presence and big, commanding voice. Additionally there is a whole universe to explore while plucking and bowing. These two players use the instrumentation to their advantage. They know, how far they can go and when it is appropriate to step back. The tracks have quite some variation. I like Damon Smith a lot and this album is another outstanding example of his abilities on the double bass.

So happy to see a new album from this band. I've long been a fan of Mazurek and Parker's work in Tortoise, on top of the CUQ... Anyhow, if you're curious about contemporary jazz, this is a terrific place to start. Hobie Anthony
