"Bass' group now one of the most explosive trios in Jazz" – Jonathan Widran / JWVibe

2021’s THE TRIO, VOL. 1 “announces that Dave Bass is not content to rest on the achievements of his previous recordings.

In Kerry Kashiwagi (bass) and Scott Gordon (drums), he has partners who are with him every note of the way, and the spaces in between.” – Two-time Grammy winner Bob Blumenthal...

Dave’s latest recording, THE TRIO VOL. 2, picks up where its predecessor left off. Bass notes that Vol. 2 elevates everything the Trio did on Vol. 1 to a new level. “It’s a deeper, more mature effort by the Trio regarding the three things that made Vol. 1 a success: the wide spectrum of styles, the vibrant 3-way communication, and the unique arrangements of challenging compositions.”

The Trio offers up performances that are as tight as if the band had been playing together for decades, while, in truth, they first came together just over three years ago.

Dave has recorded with jazz greats Phil Woods, Ernie Watts, Ignacio Berroa, Karrin Allyson, Ted Nash and Carlos Henriquez. Visit DaveBassMusic.com.
