king ubu Posted June 29, 2005 Report Posted June 29, 2005 Mike, it was much simpler: the bass fiddle Seriously: get an earful of this one: And you will believe me in a minute! Fons is all over that bass, doing crazy stuff with it, and still it all makes musical sense. I haven't checked out the discs he put out after this one, but heard a live concert (on radio) of a trio of his with a flamenco guitarist and a percussionist - some quite beautiful music, too! And he, too, fits in with that mediterranean music. Quote
couw Posted June 29, 2005 Report Posted June 29, 2005 Is it really "trumpet marin" on the liner? I know of one "tromba marina" which is a .stringed instrument from the baroque era ← "trompet marin" seems to be synonymous to "tromba marina", or "Trompetengeige" Quote
king ubu Posted June 29, 2005 Report Posted June 29, 2005 But then Bsiri does not appear on that track, I think (need to check with the booklet), so it has to be Garcia-Fons, anyway. Galeazzi is the singer, I know that since I checked this with the booklet back when I made my BFT notes. Don't think Bsiri is on this track (Favre, either, but again I'm going from memory, and also Minafra does not appear.) Quote

I have heard Garcia-Fons, but the instrument in question does not sound like a bowed double bass ..... did you check the liner? I will order this anyway ... Quote

Of course he also appears on the Trovesi Midsummernight's Dream disc (that I love a lot) - for those live gigs he was mostly replaced by Giovanni Maier, but he made the "Jazz'n'more" in Munich, in June 2000.

mikeweil Posted July 4, 2005 Report Posted July 4, 2005 Trovesi can be heard improvising along with a renowned baroque ensemble on this CD: Whoever liked track 6 might find this appealing just as well, a little more subdued, but a unique experiment. (Link) Quote
