Search - Renaud Garcia-Fons :: Entremundo

* From 1987 to 1993 Renaud Garcia-Fons was part of the unique French all-bass ensemble L'Orchestre de Contrebasses before starting his journey as a soloist that led to his instrument's full emancipation. Arguably the most amazing double bass player in the world, Garcia-Fons is known for his overwhelming virtuosity, his Mediterranean melodic sense, and his charming con-arco sound. * Garcia-Fons shows a wide array of influences including not only jazz and classical but also flamenco, new musette, tango, Celtic, Andalusian, African, Latin American, Arabic, and Indian traditions. His unique artistry led to many exciting and successful collaborations with other globally minded players like Rabih Abou-Khalil, Michael Riessler, Dhafer Youssef, Nguyên Lê, Gérard Marais, Pedro Soler, and Cheb Mami. * In the tradition of his prize-winning albums Oriental Bass and Navigatore, Garcia-Fons concentrates on a flamenco-influenced core group on Entremundo. On his sixth album for ENJA, Garcia-Fons focuses his talents in a burning artistic statement that is at the same time pleasingly listenable and daringly visionary. * Formerly under license to Justin Time, now exclusively available from ENJA.
