World Wide Bass Review : Romance

3677_2
In her native Brazil, Rosa Passos is known and loved as "the female version of João Gilberto." For a singer/songwriter who carries the soulful cool of bossa nova into a new age, there can be no higher compliment. Mingling the classics of Gilberto, Jobim, Barroso and other masters of Brazilian songs with her own enchanting works, Passos sings in a sweet, warm, totally-in-tune voice that the Los Angeles Times has hailed as "sounding a bit like the legendary Elis Regina but with the rhythmic articulation of Ella Fitzgerald."

Bass Musician Magazine Worldwide Review:Something Different

Albertorigoni_smallTen tracks of instrumental and vocal performance of extraordinary caliber! Punchy rock and a variety of musical types cover a broad range of feels.

In Alberto Rigonis Own words;

€œI wanted to compose a solo-oriented album, without following any scheme, rule or trend, but I kept myself open to various musical genres and I invited some musicians friends of mine, to collaborate in this project. Although I am in a progressive rock band, in my album I tried to reach a freer and more poetic musical expression that matched to my melodic sensitivity. I therefore think that the album is accessible and can be appreciated by every kind of listener and not just by bass players.

Hattler_small
Hellmut Hattler joins forces once more with renowned guitarist Torsten de Winkel in an amazing collection of live performances and his favorite cuts .

In Hellmuts own words;
...the “live cuts” album was a six years work to document the development of the band’s live activities - and to have something in my label’s repertoire to satisfy the people who want exactly what they’ve heard during a live concert. for me personaly it’s always incredible to mention the metamorphosis from studio songs to live-versions.
