UPDATE: 10/27/06

Thanks for coming out guys! Great to see some familiar bass faces at the performance last night. Edo played a wonderful set of ECM styled world flavored New Age Solo Bass Jazz with lots of looping, vocal sampling and some pretty hip soloing.

I intro'd a few new never before performed live pieces I've been working on and the night seemed to go well. I'm looking forward to Larkspur Theater Solo Bass Night with Edo, Dave Grossman & Jean Baudin. I'll probably be playing a totally new set from what I played at last solo bass night. I hope to work something on the new 6 string bass into the set as well. Thanks again!

To all Bay Area folk - I'm playing a FREE Solo Bass set this Thursday night October 26th at Cafe Trieste In Berkeley on the corner of San Pablo and Dwight with Edo Castro.

7pm-9pm

Show starts with a set from 7 string Bassist Edo Castro -www.edocastro.com

Edo is a wonderfully sensitive and nuanced bassist with great taste and tone - he'll be playing new solo material, a few tunes from his 2 CDs "Phoenix" & "Edo" as well as covers from Miles and Charlie Haden!

Solo Bass is a fresh ambition for Edo, and with a pedal-board that would shame Doug Wimbish I can't wait to hear what he's got cooking!

As for me - I'll be giving the first public performance of a bunch of new tunes I'm working on for my solo CD. Since nothing gets tunes up to snuff faster than playing them live I'll give them all the run through after Edo's performance.

I'm slated to play from 8pm-9pm.

Hope to see you there!
