Veteran Los Angeles bassist and L.A. Music Academy instructor Doug Ross has released his debut album album as a leader on Egad records. Drawing on a freelance career performing with artists as diverse as jazz pianist Ron Kobayashi, Motown singer Martha Reeves, and Brazilian phenomenon Katia Moraes and Sambaguru, Doug has enlisted two dozen of L.A.'s most talented studio musicians for a broad range of vocal and instrumental tracks. The album has evoked comparisons to Tower of Power funk, Bill Evans Trio jazz, even anthemic rock on the instrumental closing number (featuring Otmaro Ruiz and the amazing Brett Garsed on guitar). Of course, Doug's bass playing gets to shine as well, both in a groove context and also in several solo bass interludes. Doug's album can be purchased on his website: dougross.net or from Abstract Logix or downloaded from iTunes. If you like what you hear, Doug is also available to record great sounding bass tracks at reasonable rates for your project from his home studio. Feel free to contact Doug directly to inquire about gigs or recording sessions.

hello from germany ...thxs for your friendship Doug wonderful playing i could listen to you for hours and hours and hours :-) ty so much for sharing it with us light and love
Thanks for requesting me as a friend! You played great the other day at Jessie's on the two tunes that I co-wrote. I also listened to your six tunes (excerpts) on this site - they sound great, especially the bass playing. You are a great player - your playing reminds me of Jeff Berlin who I have known since 1980. Check out my six demos on my MySpace.
Hi Doug. As a bassplayer myself, I believe bassplayers, even of your calibre are under represented on radio. In some small way, I"m trying to redress that situation with my radio show based on bass. Funk, jazz, alternative etc. So, If you would like your music played on radio 2 EAR FM 107.5, 6pm - 8pm Mondays, please send your CD to 'Lee's Funk Show' 166 Annetts Parade Mossy Point, NSW 2537 Australia. Respect, Lee
