A 1st-call jazz bassist - jazzboCR - 19-03-2015
Having a spiffy-looking jazz bass handcrafted to your exacting specs is all well and good but: How does it play and how well can you play it? Otherwise it's empty braggadocio--so tedious. The answer with Hans Glawischnig is: give him a cigar-box bass and he will make good music. "It ain't the meat, it's the (e)motion". His AMG bio and discog: http://www.allmusic.com/artist/hans-glawischnig-mn0000552394 and http://www.allmusic.com/artist/hans-glawischnig-mn0000552394/discography << Only 3 in a decade but all stunners.
