Product Description
African virtuoso, Richard Bona is back with a new live album that will indeed make you sweat. The moments he shares with his audiences are unique, rare, and highly moving. Bona Makes You Sweat-Live, in stores August 26th on Decca, marks his fifth solo and first-ever live concert recording. Richard Bona is known the world-over as one of the best bassist in the world, but his talent doesn t stop there. He is a supremely-gifted multi-instrumentalist, and a singer who, as Bass Player describes as music s most fluent new voice. Recorded in the summer of 2007 as a live concert at club A38 in Budapest, Bona Makes You Sweat shows Richard and his band including; keyboardist Etienne Stadwijk, trumpeter Taylor Haskins, guitarist John Caban, percussionist Samuel Torres and drummer Ernesto Simpson at their absolute best. Making this album was important to Bona so he could relay to new and old fans alike the pure energy that is felt between the musicians on stage with the audience. It s a well-rehearsed band, noted Bona. We have developed a repertoire together to the point where I can just call a song on stage and everybody knows what to do. Or sometimes I just have to look a certain way or give them a sign, and they know what song I want to play. From the critical acclaim his previous albums received, Richard Bona s magnetic presence puts him at the top of his game. Global Rhythm applauded him by saying ...extraordinary bass playing... you ll never find a reason not to be entranced while Newsweek mused; It s not cool to be impressed by the latest whiz kid to hit town. But even the hippest of the hip give it up when the subject turns to Richard Bona.

Bona is remarkable October 9, 2008
Bona, once again, is unsurprisingly perfect and unsurprisingly a master. Unsurprisingly great and unsurprisingly the best bassplayer out of what could be considered creme de la creme bass players and out of the new kind of bassplaying "a la circus" (as Wooten and even Miller). However, it is a pitty that a genius like Bona has to issue a life cd which adds nothing new at all, possibly because there are no new great ideas or possibly because he has learned to mantain or wishes to mantain a certain standard -something which is extremely difficult and for example may have brought Pastorius to death. Additionally, the concert recorded here is "dramatically" similar to the last two live concerts I have seen from him in Spain. Recently I re-discover other musicians who may have not been as perfect as Bona, but they brought up something new everytime they recorded a new album and even their only relative perfection makes them sound everytime new and renewing. At the end, when purchasing a cd like this, you have to ask yourselve if you want to listen to a masterclass, or you do wish to listen to music.
