Richard Ford

Richard Ford turned from a successful career as a professional bass player (Joe Jackson, Bill Nelson) to that of an Emmy winning music producer and music editor for feature films. Over the the past 20 years he’s worked with some of Hollywood’s great filmmakers on landmark films. But the itch to get the basses out of the closet and create some music of his own has persisted throughout.

The Richard Ford Project is a new collection of tunes - using the approach Richard took on his prebvious Basso Profondissimo albums but taking it up a notch

Basso Profondissimo includes a 6 track EP and an album, Basso Profondissimo 2 (aka BP2).
A collection of music, designed on bass, and (mostly) played on bass.

Obatala and Orfafardo from BP2 have been featured on LA's KCRW and Orfafardo picked as KCRW's Todays Top Tune in May 2021.

“…as a belated personal statement after two decades of studio work it is warm, inviting and persuasive evidence of a composer/player who has that ability to turn sound into something more visceral and visual.”
