At first I only wanted to post this becasue of the publicity photo. But then as I listened more and read more I really started to get into The CJ Boyd Sexxxtet (heard about `em through Italien blog/podcast Indie Eye). There’s a lot more info about his “solo” bass project and three “solo” records at his proper website here.
This is experimental chamber music for a six piece. There’s probably nothing else like it on Earth. CJ Boyd’s solo work could be compared to some of Charles Mingus’s longer compositions as well as Edgar Meyer’s more out-there solo work. The songs below from 2006′s Fleur du Mal are fairly brooding and if this is their take on the sound of physical love than I’m scared to see anymore. You can buy this here (click on “Listen”)
