Some Of The Greatest Jazz Bass Players
From the early days of jazz, until the present time, bassists are a vital part of the driving force of a band. To quote from Victor Wooten’s fabulous book “The Music Lesson”, ‘The bass is the link between harmony and rhythm. It is the foundation of a band.’
Jazzipedia has some wonderful pictures to familiarize all jazz lovers with some of the finest standup bass players as well as electric bass players. It includes those that bowed the bass, played slap bass or fretless bass. Whether we love Ray Brown, Niels Henning-Orsted Pedersen, Jaco, Marcus Miller, or Esperanza Spaulding, you’ll find them here.
