Paul Bass and Steve Pinkston

Silver (1998)

Silver was released in May of 1998, and was to be the last studio album Paul and Steve completed together. Paul's health was failing, and often could work for just an hour or two before he had to rest. As a result, Steve took over a lot of the production on this album, and even designed the CD package.

The album title -- Silver -- refers to Paul and Steve's 25th anniversary of making music together in 1997. In the summer of 1998 they started working on a sixth duo album, to be called Ballads and Blues for Two, but this never got much beyond the planning stage before Paul's declining health prevented any further progress.

Three-Day Weekend, Volume 3 (1995)

This was the last project Paul and Steve released on analog cassette, in 1995. They did, however, master the project to DAT, beginning the transition to digital technology. Their writing  -- both individually and as a team -- showed increasing maturity during this period.

All of the tunes were recorded on a 4-track cassette recorder at Paul's home studio in Santa Cruz or Steve's home studio in Oregon.

Paul Bass - Solo Piano

Winter Dreams (1996)

Winter Dreams is an album of solo piano that Paul Bass recorded in 1996. All of the tunes he recorded were composed by Steve Pinkston. 

Steve says about this CD:

"Winter Dreams was a complete surprise to me, and a very great honor that Paul would forego recording his own compositions on his album, and instead feature mine. It is a gift I will always treasure. And -- as always -- Paul's interpretation of my tunes went  beyond anything that I ever imagined, and brought out the beauty in the tunes that was there waiting to be discovered. Thank you, old friend."
