Charles Berthoud - Play With Fire (CD)

Play With Fire is Charles Berthoud's most collaborative and ambitious release to date. Blending virtuosic bass playing with cinematic melodies, catchy grooves, and world-class human musicianship, the EP is an antidote to A.I. slop. Featuring guest appearances from legends like Mateus Asato, Martin Miller, Mike Dawes, Bernth, and J-Rod Sullivan, these five tracks move effortlessly between modern fusion, progressive instrumental music, and heartfelt melodic storytelling. From the fiery title track to the reimagined band version of fan favourite Elevated, Play With Fire showcases Charles in a new light: not just as a solo bass virtuoso, but as a musician creating something bigger than any one instrument.
