“THERE’S AN ART IN PUTTING TOGETHER A COLLECTION THAT SUCCESSFULLY TAKES ON AS MANY SUB-GENRES AS BASS DOES. STAYING WITHIN THE CONSTITUTION AND TEMPERAMENT OF JAZZ, ALLOWING FOR IMPROVISATION AND BEING INCLUSIVE, IS AN UNDERRATED SKILL BUT IT IS ALSO THE ESSENCE OF JAZZ. LISTENING TO WHAT DAVE BASS HAS DONE ON GONE EXEMPLIFIES THE CAPABILITIES OF AN ARTIST WHO CAN COMBINE A BIG-PICTURE MINDSET AND DIVERSE TALENTS. IT’S A GREAT PLATFORM FOR THE KIND OF MUSICAL AND INTELLECTUAL APTITUDE THAT CAN BRIDGE VARIED ATTRIBUTES OF AN ABSTRACT PROCESS.”
