Kill The Bass

I was honored to have the opportunity to connect with Ohio bassist Dave Morgan for this episode of Kill the Bass. Dave has played and recorded with many of the musicians I have looked up to years. His playing is refined and he has a great sound. One of Morgan's strongest attributes is his dedication to composition and orchestration. It affects his improvising, and I was lucky to talk about his entire process and concept as a bassist. The composer, improviser, and double bassist Dave Morgan has collaborated with a wide range of jazz, pop and classical artists. His most recent recording is Beyond Boundaries with the vocalist Amanda Powell. Morgan was a recipient of a “New Works: Creation and Presentation" grant from Chamber Music America, which resulted in his recording, The Way of the Sly Man, featuring Jack Schantz, Howie Smith, Jamey Haddad, and Dan Wall. Morgan also composed the music for The Surprise of Being—Live at Birdland by the Cleveland Jazz Orchestra featuring Joe Lovano. A Tri-C Jazz Fest conc
