In this interview, filmed in Paris in the spring of 2022, I meet one of the double bass world's most exciting players to discuss their solo album 'Music for a Locked in Double Bass'. Vladimir Torres is an innovative artist who fuses pop and jazz influences with a deep sense of groove and tasteful solos. In addition to arrangements of popular songs and jazz standards, Vladimir is also a composer, and we feature his piece Se Acabó at the end of the interview.
In our discussion, we focus on Vladimir’s experiences as a self-taught musician, as well as recording his solo album, which features classic pop, jazz and contemporary music by artists including The Beatles, Charles Mingus and Michael Jackson. I hope you enjoy this video with Vladimir Torres and his stunning solo performance! As usual, we have provided links to the people referenced in our conversation and some behind-the-scenes photos from the session; follow this link to take a look: https://discoverdoublebass.com/interv...

DISCUSSION NOTES:
In this discussion, Geoff references Dave Holland’s 1978 album Emerald Tears as an early solo double bass recording. It’s worth adding that Barre Phillips’ 1968 recording of solo bass improvisations, issued as Journal Violone in the US, Unaccompanied Barre in England, and Basse Barre in France, is generally credited as the first solo bass record.
