Rich Brown - NYAEBA (2025)

The album "NYAEBA" is a solo work by renowned bassist Rich Brown, written and performed entirely on a six-string bass guitar. The album is a conceptual story about a traveling griot, with music that draws inspiration from jazz and the world music traditions of Africa and Brazil. Unlike many similar projects, "NYAEBA" prioritizes melody and narrative, using virtuosic technique only as a means to create deep and diverse compositions.
