Walter Kittle can best be described as "one of the most creative and talented musicians of our time" as shown though his unique stylistic performances on bass. His smooth jazz sounds reflect a “life is good” feeling, like relaxing with a glass of favorite wine after a long hard day. Known to other musicians as “Dr. Bass”, he delivers a range of sounds from a variety of instruments including piccolo bass, five string bass, fretless bass and his unique custom 8 string bass. His piccolo bass puts the bass lead out front and at times sounds like a jazz guitar. Few bass players ever reach the level of skill and variety that Walter delivers on every performance you are able to enjoy. Following a journey from the medical field to full-time musician, he is now dedicating his time to the full musical experience of working with some to the country’s top musicians.
