A very versatile bassist, Rob Wasserman has gained fame for his trilogy of recording projects accurately titled Solo, Duets and Trios. Wasserman began playing the violin when he was 12, not switching to bass until he was already 20. Within a year he was studying at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and playing with drummer Charles Moffett. The classical training he had received on violin plus owning a very open mind have both come in handy frequently throughout his career. Wasserman picked up early experience working with Dan Hicks, Maria Muldaur, Van Morrison and Oingo Boingo.
