Product Description
Album Description
By age 21, Renaud Garcia-Fons had won performance competitions held in Paris and Aubervilliers and was awarded, by the French Cultural Minister, a Professor of Double Bass. There are multiple sources for his musical inspiration - he feels as close to the music of the Mediterranean and Orient as to the flamenco tradition, which he has transposed for the double bass. Once again Garcia-Fons unites artistic traditions from very different countries and times - and he does so in the most artistic, virtuosic, enjoyable way.

This review is from: La Linea del Sur (Audio CD)
While I love every CD I have by Renaud Garcia-Fons I'm especially delighed with this new recording. The compositions are as intricate and lovely as ever and the musicianship all around is incredible, but because it's mostly a trio the interaction among the instruments is especially clear. How is is possible that Garcia-Fons's bass playing continues to improve?The three tracks with the flamenco vocalist sent shivers up my spine - pure devotion that's completely worthy of the Rumi poetry cited as the inspiration on Garcia-Fons's excellent web site. Music of this caliber is very rare.

Best 5 string Bass Player, Feb 25 2011

I heard about Garcia-Fons in an interview on NPR and got hooked into hearing more.The music of his new release (Mediterranees) was riveting. He finds the common musical thread of the music of cultures around the mediterrean basin and succedes in putting it forth in inspired compositions. Linea del Sur is his 2009 release, it blends Latin American music and the music of Spain with outstanding virtuoso playing, percusions, bandeneon, guitar, fabulous vocals and of course the ever enthralling bass of Renaud Garcia-Fons. I haven't been excited by a jazz player/composer like Renaud in more than a decade! I very highly recommend Linea del Sur.

Invigorating island intellectualism, Jan 19 2010
By IRate - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: La Linea del Sur (Audio CD)
3 1/2This notable jazz bassist continues down an exotically inundated, technically accentuated path often at the expense of personal involvement. Things do align enough, however, to showcase some phenomenally far away grooves.
Listmania!
