Ralph Peña, "Master of the Bass". Is it ever feasible that anything irrefutably judged to be impossible can actually be proved to be within the realm of possibility? This is the type of conundrum often put forward by one of those clever few who can show off with a glib answer to his own riddle. All of the ranking jazz pianists of the Coast appear there, and it is where Pete Jolly and Ralph Peña played their first extended engagement together and also where they conceived the style for this, their first album. When Pete first came to Los Angeles in 1954, one of the first bassists he worked with was Ralph Peña, already recognized as one of the top men on his instrument on the Coast. They immediately recognized each other’s talents and quickly became close friends. Finally in 1958 they began working as a duo.
