Wilbert de Joode
De Joode is currently one of the most active bass players on the European improvised music circuit. His individual style and musicality transforms the double bass into an equal partner in the most varied ensembles. A personal tone colour, exploration of the outer registers, quirky improvisations and the use of gut strings contribute to an instantly recognizable and intriguing sound. The seventeen improvised pieces on his first solo cd Olo (distributed by ToonDist ( www.toondist.nl ) show how rich and complex his sound on the double bass is.

Recorded in concert in Koln, in May 2018, ...

by Nic Jones
One of the many conventions subverted by music as open as this is the one of soloist and accompanist, and here piano and bass fuse in a way that lie outside of the tradition, even in any of its less inclusive forms. Both musicians are restrained in the sense that they're alert to the value of silence or near-silence, and the results are often marked by a certain angularity, as if each of them is over-compensating for the presence of ...
