Andres Rotmistrovsky Releases Debut Album, “Upbeat”

Andres Rotmistrovsky, who has gained popularity for his solo bass arrangements, has released his first solo album, entitled Upbeat.

The record includes the bassist’s original compositions written while studying at Berklee College of Music, as well as arrangements of standards.

“This album is [named] after several years of studying the powerful effects that can be created with rhythm, when accenting the side of the beat that is in the air; the upbeats,” Rotmistrovsky wrote. “I was lucky to work with some ‘monster musicians,’ who are also my Berklee pals, [who] nailed the music with only one rehearsal in a recording session of just a few hours!”

Those musicians include Evgeny Lebedev on piano, Matan Chapnitzka on tenor saxophone and Marcelo Woloski on percussion.
