Emergence is a solo album by Czech bassist Miroslav Vitouš recorded in September 1985 and released on ECM October the following year.[2]
Reception
[edit]The AllMusic review by David R. Adler awarded the album 3 stars stating "Emergence showcases Miroslav Vitouš in a solo bass setting, with no overdubs. It's austere and challenging, but Vitous is never ponderous; he sustains plenty of interest with his passion and staggering technique, dividing his time equally between pizzicato and arco statements... An excellent complement to other solo bass statements on ECM, most notably by Dave Holland and Gary Peacock".[3]
