What are some good double bass CDs?

[DJ[_2_]]

Hello,

I'm looking for some good CDs (DVD-A and SACD are fine too) that have a good
recording of an acoustic upright double bass (particularly in regards to
strumming).

Thanks in advance for your references.

Best regards,

-DJ

Depends on the sound of double-bass you prefer.

If like me you like Charlie Haden's one no doubt that you will love
these :
- Beyond the Missouri sky (in duo with Pat Metheny)
- Night and the city (live in duo with Kenny Barron)

plus...
Liebman, Celea & Reisinger : Ghosts
Evans, LaFaro, Motian : Sunday at Village Vanguard
Abdullah Ibrahim : Cap Town Revisited
Ron Carter & Jim Hall : Telepathy

Plus so many that disserve to be in this list and that I cannot
remeber.

Oooops I forgot "Steal Away" in duo with Hank Jones !!!
Perhaps the most poignant collection of spirituals that I have ever listen.

Me too !!!
In fact my dictionary proposed "gratter la corde d'une guitare"
So I guessed that he was perhaps requesting "finger
playing" (pizzicato) rather than "bow playing". :-)

And I keep waiting for somebody to recommend "Superbass 2", the Telarc
Hybrid SACD/CD jazz recording of bassists Christian McBride, Ray Brown, and
John Clayton. Three different techniques, instruments, and resulting
"sounds" all in the service of some delightful music-making. If you love
bass, you'll love this recording.

Thanks for all of the responses and observations into my initial inquiry. I
will definitely consider some of your recommendations.

In the meantime, just to clarify what I'm looking for in a double-bass or
upright bass in anything similar to these examples...

- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tNSp7MaADM
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_9Ihw2ir1g
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfvZvY4FvRc
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py3jT0uaZw0
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4Hx0VfUbTw
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttNWFf4ddMo

E.G. strumming or finger picking as a solo, in a duo, trio, quartet,
quintet, etc. -vocal or intstumental as well. I'm not as interested the
sound of bow playing for my tastes.

Thanks again. I apprecieate all of your recommendations.

Happy listening,

-DJ

Good recommendation.
I've seen this album in the shop but I was afraid that it could be a
"stylistic exercise" only.
Reviews confirm musical quality, humour... and swing !
Thanks.

I second your choice Stephen.
Especially a very nice work he has done with pianist John Taylor and
drummer Joey Baron : Rosslyn
