Renaud Garcia-Fons Releases Mediterranees
French double bass master Renaud Garcia-Fons has just released his new album, Mediterranees, in the U.S. The 18-track album is an exploration of the music of the Mediterranean, which Garcia-Fons attributes to his Spanish and Italian roots.
“There’s nothing ethno-musical or touristy about this project,” the bassist explains, “Simply a desire to be carried on a passionate thread of a script propelled by inspiration that places melody in a central space. After all, the uniting factor of all these different Mediterraneans is the taste for melody!” Renaud is no stranger to playing melody, as he is renowned for his arco work in thumb position and beautiful compositions.
