OCD028-ODG041-OUI020 : Marco Bardoscia / Tutti - Solo Contrebasse

Marco Bardoscia (bio, discography, collaborations and concerts) is one of the most promising Italian double bass player and composer at the moment.

Born in the Salento area, he was surrounded by music from his earlier age thanks to his grand-father who was an instruments maker and who played guitar and mandoline, delivering serenades on demand in exchange for cheese, wine and olive oil.
During his childhood he listened to all sorts of music, messing with the records collection of his brothers when one day he finally discovered Jazz.
While listening to an album by The Jazz Renegades, he was fascinated by a double bass solo and decided on the spot that one day he would be a contrebasse player and do solo too!
He started with an electric bass, playing blues with his brothers, before joining the academy and learning the double bass, always obsessed by that solo from years ago.
Moving a lot between France and Italy for more learning and a lot of playing until 2009, he now divides his time between Brussels and Italy where he composes and gives concerts.

Tutti is his third album and the first one on which he plays solo.

Loving both jazz music and classical one, he naturally turns his music into a fabulous marriage of traditional jazz playing and avant-garde tunes.

Except for two covers and one traditional song, this album is completely composed by Marco.

The double bass is the only instrument used and played without almost any effects and overdubs. Enjoy!
