Album: An Evening @ St. Pauls

Reviewer : Jade Abbot

I finally reviewed this one after months of asking =)
Bassing at it's heart & soul. The mixing is a bit questionable in some areas - when it comes to voices (but they aren’t important anyway). The recording consists of a variety of South African artists, with the focus mainly on bass. Dave & Bert do a bunch of Bits & Pieces, which is pretty astounding as well (Listen out for the Pink Panther, I thought it was quite fun!). From there you have a bit of Martin himself with some good technique advice & 2 tracks by Kai which I thoroughly enjoyed. My favourite is the (over 18 minutes long) improvisation done by Concord & Victor. Improvisation has always been something I’ve admired and these two pull it off AMAZINGLY! I could listen to it all day. In fact it’s already on repeat.

If you’re looking to hear a bit of SA Bass Talent (especially if you were there on the night) then get hold of the St Paul’s Bass Evening from Martin .
