Biggs comes from a strong background in jazz and classical performance, Bradbury from a composition and computer music background. They first met as faculty colleagues working on projects at both Palomar College and Cal State San Marcos and their mutual love of Irish and traditional American music inspired them to create this unique pairing of mandolin and bass. MandoBasso (pronounced Mahndo-Bahso) performances include mostly original compositions with some traditional tunes, classical music, jazz and ragtime. Gunnar Biggs is a Southern California bassist/music educator. He is active in many genres of musical performance including jazz, Latin, classical, world, and experimental. Recently retired from San Diego State University after twenty-five years as Instructor of Double Bass and as Director of Jazz Ensembles at Palomar Community College, Gunnar continues to maintain a thriving private teaching practice. “Double bassist Gunnar Biggs has been a touchstone in the San Diego jazz scene for over thirty years. His tone is big and solid and his time-keeping is exceptional. On top of all that, Biggs is a superb soloist: each time he gets in the spotlight – his message is riveting” –All About Jazz William (Bill) Bradbury is Professor Emeritus in the Music Department at California State University, San Marcos where he taught courses in American music, film scoring, music technology, composition, and music theory. His creative activities include compositions for orchestra, chamber ensembles, soloists, and electronic media and computer-based multimedia collaborations with visual artists. Bradbury has also written musical scores for a number of theatre productions and several films including Anza Borrego: Seasons in the Desert for which he received an Emmy Award for composing and arranging.
