Bass virtuosos Alberto Rigoni (solo, BAD As, Kim Bingham, Vivaldi Metal Project etc.) and Michael Manring (solo, Alex Skolnic, Steve Morse etc,) are glad to announce the release of their new album \u201cGrains of Sand\u201d on September 15th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The album, fully instrumental, spans from prog to fusion, jazz, ambient and features Mark Zonder (Fates Warning, A-Z) on drums. Also, on some tracks the duo invited some bassists as special guests such as Billy Sheehan, Stuart Hamm, Adam Nitti and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alberto Rigoni says: \u201cAfter the release of \u2018Song for Souls\u2019 in memory of my father I said I was going to retire (at least for a bit) but well\u2026 I could not resist making an album with one of the best bass players in the world like Michael. Hope you will enjoy it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Michael Manring says: \u201cAlberto is a prolific artist with a deep love of the bass. His enthusiasm is inspiring and it\u2019s always a pleasure to work with him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
