opis
The contrabass grew in significance in the symphony orchestra in the latter part of the 19th century. Beethoven made good use of it, and his contemporary Dragonetti (himself a bass player), even wrote concertos for the instrument. However, the bass has usually been a sympathetic supporter rather than a dominant voice. The instrument didn't seem to have the range – nor its practitioners the technique – to become truly expressive in its own right. The coming of the 20th century, and in particular the arrival of jazz, expanded the bass player's role, but it was the end of the 1930s before the potential of this hitherto textural instrument suddenly exploded into life. An inheritor of both these traditions – because he is busy in the world of improvisation as he is in formal music – is the London bass player Barry Guy, whose work is the focus of this album.
