Gary Karr performs his arrangement of Amazing Gracing. Featuring Harmon Lewis on accompaniment.
Gary Karr, acclaimed as "the world's leading solo bassist" (Time Magazine), is, in fact, the first solo doublebassist in history to make that pursuit a full-time career. It is a career that adds new lustre to his already lustrous 1611 Amati doublebass which was given to him by the widow of Serge Koussevitzky.
Since his debut with Leonard Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic in 1962, Karr has performed as soloist on six continents with orchestras, including the Chicago Symphony, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Hong Kong Philharmonic, Montreal Symphony, Simon Bolivar Orchestra (Caracas, Venezuela), Jerusalem Symphony, Oslo Philharmonic, Zurich Chamber Orchestra, and with all the major orchestras of Australia.
On Italian cable, three Karr doublebass recitals reached 20 million classical music lovers. The numerous CDs that Gary Karr has recorded and released in Japan are "top of the recording charts" favorites in the Far East. The BBC has featured two video films of Karr, one an illumination of his life and music (Amazing Bass) and one a series for children. On his third recording with the London Symphony Orchestra, Karr performed the Concerto for Bass by John Downey. CBS Sunday Morning celebrated Gary Karr's career and the University of Wisconsin has released a video demonstrating his instructional approach to the doublebass (BASSically Karr) in addition to a special video concert for children (Karrtunes).

Hi. How are you doing rosemary 🌹🌹
🎼 Wow what a gift from GOD ❤!!
I have played bass for 40 yrs. and I have never heard "BASS" played
like this...thank you.
God be praised by this Melody. I've missed my godfather in the past day. I know he's resting, I have faith in our Lord Jesus mission to save us all. And I know our Almighty father is conforting me, a mere mortal and sinner, but saved by Christ's grace and sacrifice.
Every time i´m here: "No, i will not fall into tears". I have never succeeded. 💔😢❤
I came across this upload out of curiosity. It was documented that an ancestor had played "Bass Violin" in a church back in England in the days before organs. I just had to see how a hymn could be played on a bass. Now I know.
Above, lovelier than lovely. ❤

Lovely , wow . Am I hearing harmonics in the first measure ?
Anyone know how he's making that sound at the beginning? Harmonics?
yes.
OK now I know that I have to practice longer today
..... and every day here on in out.
that looks interesting
Anyone know how he's making that sound at the beginning? Harmonics?
Harmonics. He's lightly touching the string to get these bell-like tones. There are a couple places where Karr fingers (presses down) on the string to get a more full sound (you can find these notes where he adds vibrato and when you see his knuckles lock as he presses down).
