Reza Saleh is an outstanding bass player and a multi-instrumentalist from Jakarta Indonesia, with a great passion for music.  He was the winner of best New Solo Smooth Jazz Artist at the 2006 Long Beach Jazz Festival (video).  He has been hired to open for the likes of Peter White, Jeff Gollub, Richard Elliot, Gerald Albright, and The Brand New Heavies. (video). He has been artist of the month from many pod-cast shows around the world.  Sponsored by GHS strings, he has been a demonstrator at the NAMM show for the last two years for such products as DeMars Guitars and Accugroove bass amplifiers.  Reza was raised in a very musical family.  His extreme interest in music has existed since witnessing a piano jam session between Emir Saleh (brother) and the late Usmawi Saleh (father).  Usmawi always stressed to Reza the importance of music being a complete language within itself, and that while jamming, communication is a key focus and goal.  Next, Reza was blown away when he saw an Earth Wind and Fire concert video because of how many people playing different instruments could hold that communication while onstage together.  It was then that he committed himself to perfecting his voice in the phenomenal language of music.      Reza has lived and breathed through his BB 3000S bass since the age of twelve, there were times that he could barely reach all the frets, and at times he experienced arm and shoulder pain due to a frenetic practice routine.  He has remained loyal to his Yamaha bass to this day.
