Simon H Fell - Frank & Max (Bass solos 2001-2011)
Another Important recording that needed to be released was the solo recordings of Simon H Fell, one of the UK's
finest bassists, although currently based in France, Simon has been and still is the bass player of choice for many.
These tracks were recorded over the last 10 years, which was the last time that he released some solo material (a
cassette release) on his own Bruce's Finger imprint.
This recording covers almost every aspect of Simon's playing, the rhythmic strength and melodic structure of his
music, to the outer regions of extended technique..... eking out all manner of sounds from his bass. It is a privilege to
be able to release such great music.
Reviews
Fell’s solo disc, eight vignettes dedicated mostly to bass peers, godfathers and gods, makes his poor documentation on the trio disc even more disappointing. Each tune covers such a wide and strong set of ideas with such clarity that it appears not as a painting might, a fixed space of articulation, but as a sculpture that reveals hundreds of aspects as you circle it. In some ways it’s a love letter not only to his friends and forebears but also to the instrument. Fell highlights the personal, the physical, the serene and the imaginative in a way all solo documents of this kind should be encouraged to do.
