"Dave Bass is the quintessential artist. His talent is pure and terribly entertaining...."
Michele Rhea Caplinger, Sr. Executive Director, The Recording Academy, Atlanta

"Dave Bass is jazz music's most extraordinary secret.
A virtuoso on multiple instruments, (with particular emphasis on his haunting sax),
Dave combines instrumental mastery with vocal skills that, alone,
have driven the careers of many world renowned performers.
It is only a matter of time before Dave is no longer Atlanta's best kept secret!"

Connie Zerden, Vice President, General Manager, Showtime Networks, Inc.

"I'd like to affirm Dave Bass for his passion and artistic excellence -
I am inspired every time I hear him play."

J. Scott Fugate, Station Manager, WBCX 89.1 FM, Brenau University; Atlanta Jazz List

"Listening to him, I hear an exuberant lover, a wise old pal, a lonely figure on a park bench.
He's a man with Sinatra in his voice and Silver in his fingers."

Todd Leopold, Entertainment Producer, CNN

"The Dave Bass Quartet... evokes a melange of musical tastes,
including Latin tempos, swinging jazz tunes, R&B riffs and funkified rhythms.
Versatility like this almost guarantees a spotlight."
Kenneth Rollins, Atlanta Journal-Constitution

"The hardest working man in the jazz business."
Charles Driebe, Manager, The Blind Boys of Alabama

"This group of authentic jazz musicians can do it all.
The Dave Bass Ensemble is becoming one of Atlanta's hottest intown groups...
they are taking Atlanta's nightlife by storm."
Angela Carone, The Piedmont Review

"To their credit, the quartet emphasizes sets consisting of mostly obscure tunes
written by jazz musicians... tasty stuff."

"Marcelo Camera and Zina Pinheiro, (here six months pregnant),
two pioneers of introducing the music of Brazil to Atlanta,
draw large crowds to Loca Luna on Friday nights."
