Peter Warren is an American bassist/cellist with deep connections to Japanese jazz musicians, having collaborated on trio albums like "Trinity" with Masahiko Satoh and Pierre Favre, as well as quartet albums like "Vibrations" with Terumasa Hino and others. This is the leader album by him released in 1972. The A-side, as the title suggests, revolves around the theme of "Bass," featuring a free-improvised deep session with three other bassists: Dave Holland, Jaime Faunt, and Glen Moore. It unfolds into a world of passionate low-end frequencies. The B-side includes the participation of Chick Corea (piano), Barry Altschul (tabla, drums), Steve Hauss (drums), and Stu Martin (drums). It presents a dynamic interplay, like a writhing dance, unfolding. Among the tracks, A3 stands out as a remarkable recommendation. In this track, the four bassists each deliver solos, intertwining with Altschul's tabla performance in a captivating way.
