ITEM OVERVIEW
The debut solo release from veteran jazz and creative musician Devin Hoff, Solo Bass is a collection of improvisations and original compositions for string bass, drawing on the intimate solo work of Munir Bashir, Joao Gilberto, Lightnin' Hopkins, and Joelle Leandre, as well as the profound inspirations of Ornette Coleman, The Carter Family, and Black Sabbath. Extra-musical inspiration comes from historic and present traditions of insurrectionary libertarian socialism, with song titles derived from North American anarchist newspapers as well as theories of the evolution of revolutionary praxis.
"Each of these pieces is like a long lost song buried somewhere in our collective memories." —Bruce Lee Gallanter, Downtown Music Gallery
