George Lyle

George Lyle is a double bassist appearing in recordings by the Glasgow Improvisers Orchestra, an ensemble whose performances emphasise collective invention and cooperation between instrumentalists of different musical backgrounds.

His double-bass contribution is documented on Poetics (CS114), released by Creative Sources. The recording brings together a large group of musicians playing strings, winds, brass, guitar, keyboards, percussion and voice, including Raymond MacDonald, George Murray and Ernesto and Guilherme Rodrigues. Within this expansive instrumentation, the double bass offers both a low-register acoustic foundation and possibilities for independent melodic and textural activity.
