about

Bass Salute to Richard Davis, Milt Hinton, Lucas Drew, Israel Lopez Cachao, Bob Gladstone, Ron Carter, Ray Brown, Charles Mingus, Roger Ruggeri, Eddie Gomez, Rufus Reid, Buster Williams, the International Society of Bassists, the Richard Davis Foundation, and the Milt Hinton Institute. All these important associations and influences have inspired and guided my journey. This collection of songs honors everyone holding up the bass salute, tuning those half steps spacings & formations, while sitting comfortably in an eternal pocket. Bass Regards, Peter

Bass Salute Photo……

Front Cover:
From the June 1970 edition of The Bass Soundpost, (p.27), the caption reads: Our thanks to Clyde Russell Jr, bass teacher in the Milwaukee Public Schools for this BASS PLAYER’S SALUTE. Pictured from left to right are bass students Harold Jaeger, Peter Dominguez, Paul Aski, Bruce Enke, and George Schneider. The picture was taken by advanced student Steve Majewski. As unusual as the left- handed salute is, it is typical of the uniqueness and individuality of bass players in general. To Mr. Russell and his Saturday morning bass class, a big bass player’s salute from the “Bass is Beautiful” movement
