Renaud Garcia-Fons is about to release his new CD/DVD simply called “Solo” for ENJA Records. Material is recorded in September in Marcevol (France) on two consecutive concerts.
Driven by new ideas and the talent to translate them into compositions, he virtually reinvented the way the instrument could be played. The result: an altogether new sound an amalgam of double bass, cello, violin, guitar, lute, oud, and more that exceeds any conventional idea of playing the double bass.
Renaud Garcia-Fons will play Solo all over the world this spring (Germany, Spain, Turkey, USA and Australia) and of course France.
