| Detailed Description |
|
Jeremy McCoy and Friends Dialogues with Double Bass Gioacchino Rossini: Duetto Steven Doane, violoncello John Pattitucci: The Root John Patitucci, double bass Georg Philipp Telemann : Sonata No. 2 Whitney Crockett, bassoon Giovanni Bottesini: Gran Duetto, No. 3 John Pattitucci, double bass Martin Dalby: MacPherson's Rant Laura Gilbert, piccolo, flute, alto flute Reinhold Glière: Cradle Song Ira Weller, viola Edward Elgar: Duetto Demian Austin, trombone John Pattitucci: Grateful John Pattitucci, six string electric bass Jean Françaix: Duo Baroque June Han, harp Jeremy McCoy's new album, "Dialogues with Double Bass" presents a wide-ranging look at the double bass repertoire. The album highlights two particular themes. The primary notion is highlighting the bass as an equal voice in instrumental duos that are diverse and interesting conversations. A second theme is found in the vocal quality of much of the music. Like Bottesini, one of history's most famous bass players, who earned his living playing in an opera orchestra, Jeremy McCoy is a seasoned member of New York City's Metropolitan Opera Orchestra (the orchestra's assistant principal bassist). The influence of great singing can be heard in McCoy's playing, in the way he shapes a phrase and in the varied tonal colors of his sound. McCoy's wide experience as a soloist, chamber player and orchestral musician, and the expressive range of his instrument, finds him right at home in this engaging collection of eloquent dialogues with the double bass. |
