This recent release, Daily Grooves for Bass (published by Carl Fischer), came about because of a severe shortage of two things essential to the bass world: a book with great grooves that are funky and hip and inspiring, and a book that gives great reading exercises, short and to the point, just like in the real music world, without bogging down the player with pages and pages of music that only works for a specific tune. Pfeiffer wanted to inspire bass players to read and play grooves worthy of being in any bassist’s groove repertoire. The grooves in this book are excellent for jamming and the reading makes sense, but please bear in mind that the material presented here is aimed at the advanced-intermediate to advanced player. Written in Standard Notation, TAB and tracks included via data CD. Click here to get it.
 

Patrick's band, PHX, presents their Bass Player Magazine - recommended CD, Fruits and Nuts. It's a gritty R&B/Funk flavored journey through original compositions. This is the CD that had Bass Player Magazine exclaim "Although his style and sound owe much to Jaco, Patrick puts his own worthy stamp on the legacy." Players on the CD are: Patrick Pfeiffer on bass, Jon Cowherd on keys, drummer and percussionist David Meade, saxophonist Brian Sears, and the late great Gary Corwin (singing "Once You've Been A Raisin, You Can Never Be A Grape").
