Nastja Nina and Anton Davidyants: Sokunthea
When you put a song together with just bass and voice, beautiful things happen. Here’s a great example with the duo of Nastja Nina and Anton Davidyants performing the bassist’s original song “Sokunthea.”
The song was first written as a solo bass piece, but Davidyants decided to redo it with Nina doubling the melody. The phenomenal bass playing and blend of timbres creates a gorgeous texture that’s sure to make you listen more than once.
I love how voice and bass blend together…
That was bliss
Fantastic! any chance there’s a transcription?
Very, very nice piece of bass goodness. Sweet blend with the vocals as well.
This is quite wonderful!
Ms. Nina’s scatting added a lot to an already fine tune. THank you.
Absolutely great piece! Anton You are the Man! Superb bass playing! What a great choice to perform this with Nastja. Most of singers these days can’t resist making glissando all the time, especially when going up. She sings the melody chrystall clear.
I have listened and enjoyed this many times!
