About

The double bass has always been close to Gavin Bryars' heart. His own instrument, it has also featured strongly in his music for other players - as in The Church Closest to the Sea, written for Mr McFall's Chamber and their bassist Rick Standley.

Bryars' music straddles worlds: classical and jazz, composition and improvisation, the works on this disc moving between the lushly sensuous and the coolly laid-back as they meditate on geographical and emotional borderlands.

Mr McFall's Chamber began in 1996 as a string quartet of players from the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, which took to playing nightclubs in an attempt to woo a younger audience. In the years since, the group has grown to include a pianist and bass player, as well as a succession of drummers, percussionists, singers and guest instrumentalists, and plays a range of music from tango through jazz and rock to contemporary classical, taking in quite a lot besides.

Premier recordings of Eight Irish Madrigals and The Church Closest to the Sea.

Mr McFall's Chamber:
- Susan Hamilton (soprano)
- Nicholas Mulroy (tenor)
- Rick Standley (double bass)
