Learn Diverse Artists - 1989 Jazz-Club - Bass

Selecting representative recordings of bass players is an specially tough task, given the relative scarcity of recordings of bassists equally leaders, only the Ralf Enoch/Horst Hohenböken Jazz-Club serial has come upwards up amongst a fascinating anthology from PolyGram's archives. Although at that spot are approximately unavoidably glaring omissions due to ties amongst other labels -- Jimmy Blanton, Milt Hinton, Scott LaFaro, Charlie Haden, for representative (Christian McBride wasn't on the scene yet inwards 1989) -- the collection notwithstanding makes its means from the smashing Slam Stewart hum-scat swing of "Beyond the Blue Horizon" (1944) through the mainstream '50s in addition to closing amongst the emergence of Jaco Pastorius in addition to Stanley Clarke inwards the jazz-rock '70s. "Prayer for Passive Resistance" is an exciting representative of Charles Mingus' precipitous shifts of tempos; Percy Heath is shown off effectively on the MJQ's "The Golden Striker." Oscar Pettiford's solid, booming feel of fourth dimension inwards Tal Farlow's "Blues In the Closet," Ray Brown's self-explanatory "Solo for Unaccompanied Bass," in addition to Clarke's spellbinding "Bass Folk Song" are standout tracks. Other bassists anchoring their bands hither are Chubby Jackson, Eddie Safranski, Paul Chambers, Red Mitchell, Sam Jones, Ron Carter, Niels-Henning Orsted-Pedersen in addition to Richard Davis.
