CD Review in a dutch Music-Magazine "DE BASSIST" (the bassplayer)

New Solution is a solo project of the German bassist Andreas Metzler. With a loopstation Metzler handles his own accompanying parts, in which along with his voice, he uses his bass as a percussion instrument. Half the repertoire are compositions by Erik Satie complemented with pieces by Coltrane, Ortiz, McCartney (Blackbird) and an own piece. Metzler is not the super-virtuoso who tries impressing his audience with waterfalls of notes; he rather creates a comfortable and exciting atmosphere with his impressive improvisations (with and without his bow)... In short, a beautiful and incorruptible piece of work achieved by an outstanding bassist.
