The voice that melts the heart

Special thanks to Jason Heath who has graciously shared on his recent post the recordings of his renditions of various double bass solos.

Check out: Tackling the 'Amati' Bass - Part II

For a start, non-double-bass-players might wish to listen to Massenet's Meditation (from “Thais”) performed by Jason Heath on the double bass. It is a fairly familiar tune, but I personally prefer to start with the Eccles' Sonata movement 1.

The voice of the double bass can melt one's heart. I love its resonating deep mellow voice.

I wish to play as good as Jason, or better. Now that means practice and more good practice.
