Stefano Scodanibbio: bass, compositions

Bass Duo presents the historic & sole performance meeting of these two renowned and innovative bass masters, each representing distinct musical traditions, and both fully committed to the summit
at hand. This concert recording was produced for release by William Parker in 2017 on his own Centering Records imprint, made in a limited CD edition of 1000 copies. Packaged in a deluxe 6-panel digipak featuring liner notes by fellow bassist-composer Mark Dresser, and Parker himself.

William Parker (Bronx, NY, January 10, 1952) has long been heralded as “the most consistently brilliant free jazz bassist of all time” and Time Out New York named him one of the “50 Greatest New York Musicians of All Time.” He has been a key figure in the New York and European creative music scenes since the 1970s, performing extensively with Cecil Taylor, Don Cherry, Peter Brötzmann, Milford Graves, Peter Kowald, and David S. Ware, among innumerable others. He has appeared on well over 150 albums to date, and as a leader has been perpetually presenting his far-ranging and highly acclaimed work since the mid-90s.

Stefano Scodanibbio (Macerata, Italy, June 18, 1956 / Cuernavaca, Mexico, January 8, 2012). During his too short lifetime he was renowned as an interpreter and collaborator with many of the major composers writing for the contrabass (Bussotti, Donatoni, Estrada, Ferneyhough, Frith, Globokar, Xenakis, among others), and he
performed dozens of works written especially for him in major festivals throughout the world. The Los Angeles Times acclaimed his “dazzling, disciplined virtuosity,” and later that “[he] lifted the instrument into new realms.” John Cage, on hearing his work Ryoanji performed by Scodanibbio, stated “his performance was absolutely magic. I was just amazed!”
