Alberto Rigoni's "For The Love of Bass", simply put, it’s bass heaven.
After the success of his latest prog rock album "Odd Times", Italian bassist & composer Alberto Rigoni (BAD As, Natural Born Machine, The Italians, Vivaldi Metal Project), now releases his 10th solo album.
As the title suggests, the instrumentation is exclusively electric bass, spanning ambient, fusion, jazz and new age styles.

"For The Love of Bass" is an all-star bassists album featuring some of the best players anywhere: Nathan East, Leland Sklar, Michael Manring, Tony Franklin, Doug Wimbish, Adam Nitti, Lars Lehmann, Cody Wright, Mohini Dey, David Pastorius...
