Lüdi's
CD Ki is in two parts, with two very different bass players. The first
half is set in a studio in Zürich, with Shoji Hano on drums, and
the indomitable William Parker on bass, who is on superlative form whilst
rumbling, strumming, and bowing. Meanwhile, Lüdi on baritone sax,
snorts and snuffles like a warthog. The second set comes from a live
gig in Tokyo, with electric-bass player Tetsu Yamauchi replacing Parker.
Yamauchi's hollering accompanies the hullabaloo he makes with his growling,
snarling, deep, distorted electric bass, while Lüdi and Hano blow
and bang for their lieves. Hard and cool. |
