Tribute to Dave Carpenter

This is my tribute to my friend, and fellow musician Dave Carpenter. A master bass player, and composer. This video was shot in the 90s for a show called the Jazz network. we are playing a tune I wrote called "Make Up Your Mind" with Dave on bass myself on guitar Rob Lockart tenor sax, Zak Danziger drums, Dave Scott on trumpet, and electric piano. Carp, was always the kind of person you could count on, very supportive. he had a great spirit, and positive with everything we did on and off the bandstand. always trying new ideas that sounded great and made you sound better. I will miss you, the music community will miss you, and the world will miss you. God bless you Carp, were ever you may be.

Please post your comments and feelings about Dave Carpenter. Thank You Rick Zunigar

i discovered dave carpenter maybe two weeks ago, through a performance video where he played with allan holdsworth. his playing, accompaniment and solos, just blows me away. i myself play bass too, and this guy is already a huge inspiration for me. r.i.p.

RIP Dave Carpenter...Love the way he played and man he could play so many styles! That's why he is on hundreds of recordings! Never knew him but he seemed like he would have been a friend...You will be missed but not forgotten. Your legacy and life's work will live on here on YouTube...

I had the esteem pleasure of seeing Dave play with Allan Holdsworth and Gary Novak at the Catalina Bar and Grill in Hollywood! As great as the performances were, I felt like Dave was constricted by the compositions, as this video obviously proves his incredible slap and pop ability! Dave was a master of ALL things bass and his presence will emanate throughout the annals of jazz, fusion and music in general...God Bless!
