Carlos Bica is one of the few Portuguesemusicians with international renown whohas influenced European Jazz in anunmistakable way. Next to the many musicalprojects that he has initiated and his workas a composer for theater, film and dance, his trio AZUL, with Berlin guitarist FrankMöbus and New York drummer Jim Black,has become Bica’s trademark as composerand double bass player. SINGLE, which is Carlos Bica’s first doublebass solo CD, reveals the urgent desire offollowing pure intuition without questioninghow or why. The purpose of the album isnot to prove the virtuosity of an egocentric,but most of all, that the sound of theinstrument that springs forth from thecollaboration with the musician, touches thelistener’s soul. The music is the leader andnot the instrument. Here musician andinstrument meet, while both are independentand discover each other simultaneously.“Single” was recorded at Berlin-BrandenburgRadio’s studio, and released by Bor Land.
