The working title of David Basse’s 2013 recording project is, “The Hero And The Lover, The Hermit, The Dictator, The Wise Woman And The Fool.” a quote from Jack Kornfield. This is a very long title, and Basse does not try to be all things to all people; his music simply incorporates jazz and blues. Basse’s band included veteran bassist Curtis Lundy, pianist Richard Johnson, saxophonist Stacey Dillard, and drummer Neil Smith.

Today, Basse’s ninth recording, “The Hero and the Lover…” is a culmination of over forty years of trial and error, serendipitous miscalculation and a powerful and undying love of art and music. It is a testament to the tenacity that it takes to survive in the face of an international recession and continue to create worthwhile art.
