Paul Rogers : An Invitation (Rare Music, 2009)
I have played with Paul Rogers for 30 years and in any situation he always gives 100% of himself. He is a supreme bassist, with astonishing technical abilities and great musical vision. He digs down deep to try to find new things, which in my mind means it's spiritual music because isn't that what spiritual means, digging deep to find answers. This solo cd for me shows all of this and is presented in 10 tracks with Paul improvising over his own compositions. Because he is happy in most any musical situation like straight jazz to free abstraction you can hear his love of both melody, rhythmic and harmonic freedom. This is a very powerful cd yet it is easy to concentrate on. This is why I have chosen this record as one of my all time favourites.
