Peter Kowald (solo)

[TCNHC]

Peter Kowald was for me the epitome of double bass playing and improvisational music. I had the privilage and honor to see him live back in the late 70's, in solo settings, in duos with with Evan Parker, the great trio with Wadada Leo Smith and Guenter "baby Zommer and even with Globe Unit Orchestra. He was a beatiful human being and ahead of his times.

[hepalera]

beautiful sound, lots of energy and soul in this improvisation!

[feralsanders]

He was the best, indeed. Joelle Leandre now carries the torch.

[FreeBassProductions1]

He was the best.



[alisanchazz]

[Neuron8000]

siiiiiiii!



[monacaba]

he played duets with Sam Rivers in 2000 at Rollins college

[bassislife007]

i am a stupid 14 year old so i know nothing...but that was pretty damn good...it lacked melody of my taste but the intonation was sexy

[jazzbearlinz]

I sure do miss me some Peter Kowald

[MassimoMagee]

my God that was magnificent.

[luca5string]

grazie Peter..

[prostobalbes]

yes, please post rest of the video! it so hipnotic and fantastic..

[chunkmusic]

I would really love to see the rest of this video. Could you post it up please.

Kowald was incredible.

[idra69it]

magnifico! riesce a sfracellarti i maroni nel tempo di un filmatino! impagabile

[gibo87c]

fa sempre piacere leggere commenti rispettosi.

grazie per questo bel commento

[luca5string]

sai che non è obbligatorio commentare? se sai suonare meglio di Peter prova un pò a mandare un video..

può darsi che tu sia veramente portato per lo strumento, ma così tanto che qualcudo desideri prendere lezione da te..

[idra69it]

non è obbligatorio, d'accordo, allora tu perchè lo fai? io faccio un altro mestiere ,non il contrabbassista .a differenza di costui , io non mi spaccio per quello che non sono.....

[luca5string]

perchè io lo faccio di lavoro e so come è difficile imparare a suonare i questo modo. non mi sembra giusto commentare sempre senza sapere di cosa si parla, senza magari aver preso in mano un contrabbasso.solo questo.

[clivatxt]

@idra69it

sta suonando un contrabbasso, è un contrabbassista.

qual'è il tuo problema, figliolo?

[thomasrehling]

WOW!!! It blows my mind. so intense, powerful and beautiful.

[voxhumbug]

Magnificent! Feast your eyes and ears on the master at work.

[louisrastig]

You don't know from what you're talking about.....

[8ballinthepocket]

wonderful sounds from a master

[HK83IE]

the master playing wonderfully. And i would describe this as a mediocre effort in the realm of his repertoire. he's that magnificent!

[RSAoaep]

The most beautiful doudble bass I 0have ever heard. Anything similiar like it? Or Maybe even a CD? There must be something...

[RSAoaep]

baw, should've read the video description :P

[RSAoaep]

baw, should've read the video description

[wolfmaxtrp5]

this is an excerpt from a video in which Floridis, Van dermark,Drake and Henderson participate. You can find solo bass albums of Kowald on FMP ( free music production ).

[wolfmaxtrp5]

I also recommend bass solos of Barre Philips recorded on Victo ( excerpts from Victoriaville festival du musique actuelle ).

[tocoruebe]

genious!

[samaroh]

beuatiful, deep, nuanced, superlative!

[thedbassist]

That was unlike anything I've ever seen, and was one of the most amazing things I've ever heard.

[barnabass]

When was this concert?

I thought he Peter passed around 2002.

[moontriangle]

great stuff. that throat singing at the end tips it into miracles.

[heikalo]

More!

[lg364]

extraordinary. do you have something of barre philips. like victoriaville solo?.

[wrongstring]

golly gosh

great

[sunmosphere]

rest in peace

[FranzKontekruel]

Wonderful!

[MattMartinHare]

Incredible!
