1st Sunday Concert with MandoBasso

MandoBasso is both the name of their duo and the name of their first album. Bill Bradbury plays the mandolin. Gunnar Biggs plays the bass. Together they play MandoBasso music. Crazy-quilt music. At its core is American country music, the kind heard floating on Smokey Mountain mists from the front porch of holler cabins. It's like a sip from the dipper of water drawn fresh from the well. But listen some more and jazz influences become apparent as do classical underpinnings. Keep listening and Celtic music drifts in as do complex progressions borrowed from World Music. Crazy, but damn good.

“First -- curiosity. The simple incongruity forms a question mark. A big ol' bass and a high-pitched mandolin, side by side? Like throwing a growling mastiff in with a mewling kitten.” -Gordon Johnson KCET
