Upright Double Bass Solos (unaccompanied) page 2

Here is some really great, unaccompanied bass solos played on the double bass.   These solos (other than the solo Bach), include pieces like Jon Deak's BB Wolf, which is not only technically demanding, it is hilariously narrated by the player while playing the bass.  Another good one: "Failing" which if anyone has seen the great Bert Tureztky or Robert Black perform this one (using 6 or 7 music stands in a row) will know, is a different kind of 'hard' and adds a lot of fun to any performance or recital.  We've heard of bassists performing these at Jazz gigs as well.  If you don't see some music here that you think should be, please do let us know.  Upright bass music email.
