In Taiwan's Hsiao-wei Cho, Karr declared he had found his bass-playing "Soul mate" and, as they mugged, grinned, smirked and hammed their way through the piece one could readily understand why. Simultaneously, both players performed miracles of digital dexterity, which left players in the audience gasping in between their laughter. |
