Released on ECM in 1986, this solo album is by Czech-born virtuoso jazz bassist Miroslav Vitous, whose exceptional technique and talent were showcased through his work with Weather Report and in numerous other sessions. The entire album consists of solo performances on double bass, and the results are truly extraordinary. From the instrument’s lowest register to its highest, the vivid, tactile sound of the strings gives rise to richly lyrical melodies, creating an intensely deep and immersive soundscape. An album that rewards close and attentive listening. Original German pressing.
