A Bass Bolero is an all 3/4 time bass adventure by Austrian bassist Harald Weinkum. The CD is a great concept and features remarkable playing, combining classical compositions with jazz and fusion playing styles and modern recording techniques. Bass Player Magazine's Bill Leigh writes, "It's the hard-fought realization of Austria-to-Arizona transplant Harald Weinkum's dream: an all-star bass version of composer Maurice Ravel's "Bolero", with its slowly intensifying melody and 3/4 bounce, accompanied by more bass-focused pieces in 3/4. Harald goes to great, greasy lengths to show just how naturally funky three can be. Harald's groove work definitely raises three to the funk power: A Bass Bolero is a fun record for bass players and a laudable accomplishment, but it's also great music." Instrumental Guitar (Electric/Fusion), total running time, 69:29
