EKE BBB Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 (edited) Just curious on recordings out there with only bass and vocals. Off the top of my head I can only recall Sheila Jordan´s discs: -I´ve grown accustomed to the bass, on Highnote (with Cameron Brown) -Sheila Jordan & Arild Andersen, on Steeplechase -Old time feeling / The very thought of two / Songs from within (all three with Harvie Swartz) And then there´s that Dave Holland-Jeanne Lee duo (Mingus meditations) on the later´s "Natural affinities". Any more? Edited March 10, 2005 by EKE BBB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete B Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Helen Merrill with Ron Carter. I think it was called "Alone Together" (fittingly enough). A marvelous recording. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DizzySpells Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 My favourite one: "Uncharted Land" bass: Nils-Hennig Oersted Pedersen vocals: Soes Fenger from: Niels-Henning Oersted Pedersen. Uncharted Land. Pladecompagniet AS, Denmark, 1991/1992. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Helen Merrill with Ron Carter. I think it was called "Alone Together" (fittingly enough). A marvelous recording. They didn't even do that tune - the CD was simply titled Duets, recorded in 1988 for Nippon Phonogram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 There are two astonishing takes of Love in the middle of the air by Dee Dee Bridgewater and Reggie Workman, composed by and released under the name of German/Polish composer Heiner Stadler on Labor Records - very hot, intriguing stuff!

Tom in RI Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 (edited) Karin Krog did a slendid vocal with bass duet of Round Midnight that was from a festival in Europe and released on Enja. I have the record but I can't lay hands on it at the moment. Can't quite remember the bassist's name (Arild Anderson?).

Free For All Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Helen Merrill with Ron Carter. I think it was called "Alone Together" (fittingly enough). A marvelous recording. Pete, I think you're thinking of the duet recording that Carter did w/Jim Hall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete B Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Please pardon my over-40 memory (or lack thereof) It's a great album, anyway. Merrill always sounds exquisite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA Russell Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Mark Murphy's Sings the Nat King Cole Songbook on Muse/32 Jazz features a number of tracks with him accompanied only by a bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
