MandoBasso is a duo featuring Gunnar Biggs on bass and Bill Bradbury on mandolin. 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.
