BASS ON TOP

Paul Chambers Jr. (1935-1969) was a jazz double bassist who was the anchor for trumpeter Miles Davis for eight years. ChambersAE contribution on oKind Of Blueo is considered to be some of the most rhythmically and harmonically supportive bass playing in the history of jazz. ChambersAE masterpiece aeBass On TopAE opens with oYesterdayso which has some of the most beautiful bowed bass you can hear, with a sensitive but subtle support from Kenny Burrell, Hank Jones, and Art Taylor. oDear Old Stockholmo is a another great beauty. (Also recorded on DavisAE aeRound MidnightAE, with a great Paul Chambers solo). oIAEm ConfessinAE That I Love Youo is essential Paul alone for four minutes of pure beauty.
