Contrebasses

Guy Pedersen, French jazz-soul-funk double-bass player extraordinaire, recorded Contrebasses in 1970 for Tele Music. It’s one of the most outstanding – yet puzzlingly slept-on – releases in the library’s catalogue. Forget library, this is basically a sublime, straight-up moody jazz record with monster breaks. It’s brimming with sensational psychedelic/jazzy bass-heavy moments throughout; it’s absolute gold.
The audio for Contrebasses has been remastered by Be With regular Simon Francis, ensuring this release sounds better than ever. Cicely Balston’s expert skills have made sure nothing is lost in the cut whilst the original, iconic Tele Music house sleeve has been restored here at Be With HQ as the finishing touch to this long overdue re-issue.
