"Does the world really need another solo virtuoso bass stylist? If it's Aram Bedrosian, absolutely. The Burlington, Vermont native clears the purely technical bar and then some with a combination of slapping, tapping and chordal strumming of the Hamm/Wooten/Manring varieties ("Thumpty Dumpty" and "Terracotta" are head-shakingly intense), and he's pulling it all off live, as in "Look, Ma, no Pro Tools trickery." But Bedrosian's hidden treasures are twofold: first, he summons a rich, deep, almost instantly signature tone on everything he plays, enhancing difficult material with a clarity and warmth that goes easy on the ears; second, great care and patience is taken to develop melodies and classically-influenced chord progressions, and after the third listen to "Space Opera" and "Sand Castle," you discover that beneath the virtuosic surface of Aram Bedrosian lurks the heart of a budding composer."
