    Paul Kreibich

  • Bassist Dave Carpenter Passes Away at 48 (Jun 25, 2008)

    Bassist Dave Carpenter Passes Away at 48

    Dave Carpenter

    (Tom Meek) One of the world's most respected bassists, Dave Carpenter, died suddenly on Tuesday at age 48. His career was marked by being one of the most in-demand musicians in L.A. Dave was also a member of the touring bands of Buddy Rich, Allan Holdsworth and many others over the past 25 years. Most recently Dave was a member of the L.A. bands of Peter Erskine, Alan Pasqua and Mitchel Forman. On a personal note, I first met Dave more than 20 years ago, and he was one of a select group of "musician's musicians" who had near-universal respect from both peers and fans. Dave enjoyed playing the most difficult music, was a man of considerable musical knowledge and opinions, and someone I greatly respected. I have heard from numerous musicians in L.A, and they are shocked and saddened, as am I, at this great and untimely loss.
