Jonas Tauber - Storm Walking Singing

Originally a virtuoso classical cellist, Tauber took up the bass several years ago, quickly becoming a force in the West Coast free music scene. Relocating to Zurich in early 2004, he tours extensively and is the producer behind the "Zurich Series" of improvised recordings on Origin Records. Featured here in a solo bass performance recorded live in Switzerland, Tauber displays his many technical gifts in a program of shifting moods, textures and soundscapes. Often giving the impression of the sea and nature, the CD could appeal to many beyond the market that a free jazz, solo bass recording would imply.
