Xavier Dubois Foley is a contemporary American composer and virtuoso double bassist. He unites, mixes, fuses and uses different styles together in his works such as Jazz, Classical and Rhythm & Blues.

In The Falling Seagull, double bass player Sasha Witteveen performs the music that Foley composed with the influence of the erhu, a Chinese string instrument, and with Irish folk music.

it is very inspiring (and appealing) that Foley is composing music that explores endless possibilities of the double bass as a versatile solo instrument.
