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.
