And yesterday I am glad to say that Dave forced me to listen to music made with that dreaded machine the PIANO and it reminded me of home lovely sound just like bagpipes crushed by a roller after a night on the town.
The detail that the NVA amp reproduced was good, you could hear every thrash of it't death throws of the poor beast as it struggled to be musical. Thank god it was over quickly as we went for lunch away from the pain and blood.
Jon Hassell - Last Night The Moon Came Dropping Its Clothes In The Street (24/96 - but little point as I'm playing it in the office and the DAC only does 16/48 max)
My mother. A few years back. I think she saw a documentary or something. It's a bit free form form for me. Cracking recording tho'.
Cor! Your Mum's got taste :-)
Really impressed with the recording of this album. The double bass is the best miced I've heard. Music is a bit sparse tho' - can quite see why Dave enjoys it... ;-)

From memory, most - if not all - is Charlie Haden. He has a very dark bass sound.

Do you mean the inherent tone of his instrument, or the way he plays it...?
Again, from memory, Haden plays a very old bass. He also has a pretty instantly-recognisable approach to the instrument, which tends to stress the notes (and so, I guess, the sound), rather than the number of notes.
It does sound fairly woody and "acoustic". So yeah, I'll go along with that. And yes - the bass is fairly melodic as opposed to walking. Nice to listen to actually.
As a contrast, try some Gary Peacock. Same sort of age/generation, similar collaborators, but vastly different in approach. Plus lots of fantastic recordings on ECM.

Jah rastafari and glory to God.
You got this Dave...?
It's cerebral/ugly.
Tell me more!
Google is your friend.
Honestly, check them out. I give 70%-on odds on a positive response from your sagely ears.
just heard Anders Osborne, from Living Room - could have sworn it was Lowell George!
=D>
Tho' somewhat dismissive...That's like me hearing a saxophone and a drums and saying "Very Coltrane"...
Levitation
Scorpions acoustica
