solos on Inventio II did a series of transcriptions of Bach's keyboard music for double bass duet. This video comes in during the solo section and features Tim Gilson and me playing much more improv than Bach, but trust me, there were minutes of Bach's music before the camera started rolling. At a house concert in NE Portland, June 22, 2019.
