About the New Edition
Dave Anderson’s compositions are a mainstay in the modern double bass repertoire performed by thousands of double bassists worldwide. When Hurricane Katrina hit Dave’s hometown of New Orleans in 2004, the original editions were severely damaged. But in the city’s and Dave’s determinative spirit, his compositions have persevered and forged a deep connection with performer and audience members alike.
When we launched our sheet music store in 2019, we wanted Dave’s compositions available to double bassists. In February 2025, we pitched Dave on creating updated versions of his beloved compositions.
Lauren Pierce would meticulously update Dave’s works, improving the layout, including updated typeface, measure numbers, note spacing for ease of reading, standardizing bow markings, fingerings, and more. Our goal was to create an edition that would bring the joy of Dave’s music to double bassists and audiences for generations.
We are thrilled with the result and hope you enjoy Dave Anderson: 7 Double Bass Duets (2025 Edition) presented by Dave Anderson and Double Bass HQ.
