Basso Profondissimo 2 (BP2)

  Following on the heels of the Basso Profondissimo EP is a new album from Richard Ford, 'Basso Profondissimo 2' (aka BP2)

  All 9 tracks were conceived and recorded on bass. Joined by an array of wonderful musicians, many of whom were involved in the original Basso Profondissimo recordings.

  The bulk of the tracks are original compositions with 2 covers, ‘Obatala' - a re-arrangement of a piece by the Brazilian band 'Meto Meto’ and ‘Soon’ - originally by the Scottish band 'The Blue Nile', this version sung by the amazing Kessi Blue with a string arrangement by composer Mark Orton.
