Title - 'For The Love of Bass'
Artist - Alberto Rigoni

For those unaware, Alberto Rigoni's brand new album For The Love of Bass is, simply put, bass heaven!

After the success of his latest prog rock album Odd Times, Italian bassist and composer Alberto Rigoni (BAD As, Natural Born Machine, The Italians, Vivaldi Metal Project), will release his 10th solo album on May 7th, 2021 via MVD Audio.

As the title suggests, the instrumentation is exclusively electric bass, spanning ambient, fusion, jazz and new age styles and, personally, is as free-flowing an album as I've heard in the past decade!

“It has been really challenging but the special guests contributed some gorgeous playing and we are all proud of the result,” says Alberto.

1. 'Drops of Memories' (feat. Tony Franklin)
2. 'In the Loop' (feat. David Pastorius)>
3. 'Dreamers' (feat. Michael Manring)
4. 'Alone in the Dark' (feat. Doug Wimbish)
5. 'Paranoia' (feat. Cody Wright)
6. 'The Maze' (feat. Mohini Dey)
7. 'Masked Souls' (feat. Nathan East & Michael Manring)
8. 'Social Distortion' (feat. Adam Nitti)
9. 'Mad World Bass Cover' (feat. Leland Sklar)
10. 'Killers' (feat. Lars Lehmann)
11. 'Misirlou Bass Cover' (feat. Lars Lehmann)
12. 'Lost' (feat. Adam Nitti)

For The Love of Bass, an all-star bassists album featuring some of the best players anywhere: Nathan East, Leland Sklar, Michael Manring, Tony Franklin, Doug Wimbish, Adam Nitti, Lars Lehmann, Cody Wright, Mohini Dey, and David Pastorius, opens on the atmospherically constructed lines of 'Drops of Memories' (featuring Tony Franklin) and then it seamlessly follows that with the funky slap bass (think Level 42) of 'In The Loop' (featuring David Pastorius), the more cultured 'Dreamers' (featuring Michael Manring), and then the auspicious, synth, '70s hued vibes of 'Alone In The Dark' (featuring Doug Wimbush).

Next up is the veritably cracklin' 'Paranoia' (feat. Cody Wright) which is itself backed by the deeply seated funk lines of 'The Maze' (feat. Mohini Dey), the Eastern-imbued 'Masked Souls' (feat. Nathan East & Michael Manring), and then we get both the aptly-named 'Social Distortion' (feat. Adam Nitti) and the melodically ambient TFF 'Mad World Bass Cover' (feat. Leland Sklar).

This quite brilliantly enthralling new album then rounds out with the mesmerizingly static hue of 'Killers' and the fervent 'Misirlou Bass Cover' (both featuring Lars Lehmann), coming to a close on the ethereally ornate ambiance of 'Lost' (feat. Adam Nitti).
