[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.

Marc Copland and Gary Peacock : "What It Says"

Good list. I was confused by the original poster's "strumming"
requirement.

Stephen

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". :-)

Rockabilly slap? "Extreme" bass?Flamenco electric bass?:

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=hfvZvY4FvRc

- 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.

The Stanley Clarke clips begins with strumming, stroking across all four
strings. The default for acoustic jazz bass is pizzicato, although Ray
Brown will pick up the bow every now and then, so all you need ask for
is acoustic bass unless you want a special effect, fingerboard tapping,
etc.

I'll add Marc Johnson to the list.

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

A little farther afield: Danny
Thompson. Good player for jazz-influenced folk, but not soloistic.

Thanks. I wouldn't have looked for John Taylor cds for fear of Duran
Duran.

LOL !

Johnson was first to use "Bass Desires" as a title, a milestone for
bassists.

Agree.
