Frédéric Alarie is a prolific jazz musician and soloist, having contributed to over 34 albums and hundreds of guest appearances, notably as a member of the Lorraine Desmarais trio. Mega Bass serves as a follow-up to his previous NativeDSD release, In The Spirit of Legends , and continues his tradition of pushing the limits of the double bass. By focusing on the versatility and power of the low register, the album serves as both a musical work of jazz/fusion and a rigorous diagnostic tool for and dynamic range testing .
