This is a bit of a leap as I heard this for the first time last night, but check out Brian Bromberg's "Wood". Bromberg is outstanding in these solo, duo and trio jazz arrangements of upright bass backed by piano and drums. The recording quality on first listen seemed good.
Bromberg's energetic style wrings just about everything possible out of an upright bass from the top to the bottom. The other performers were also up to the task making for a quite entertaining listen.
BTW, we also sampled Bromberg's "Jaco". It is dedicated to Jaco Pastorius and showcases Bromberg playing acoustic and electric bass. Also a quite good release, though my preference was more to "Wood."
