Come hear musician extraordinaire Renaud Garcia-Fons as he reinvents how the double bass is played. His compositions contain an utterly new sound—an amalgam of double bass, cello, violin, guitar, lute, oud, and more—that exceeds conventional notions of what the instrument can and can’t do. His soulful music, influenced by classical, jazz, flamenco, Persian, Indian, Mediterranean, and South American styles, is brilliantly performed with his new quartet, featuring David Venitucci on accordion, Kiko Ruiz on flamenco guitar, and Pascal Rollando on percussion.
