Paul Quartet Chambers - Bass On Top

Paul Chambers Jr. (1935-1969) was a jazz double bassist who was the anchor for trumpeter Miles Davis for eight years. Chambers' contribution on Kind Of Blue is considered to be some of the most rhythmically and harmonically supportive bass playing in the history of jazz. Chambers' masterpiece 'Bass On Top' opens with Yesterdays 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. Dear Old Stockholm is a another great beauty. (Also recorded on Davis' 'Round Midnight', with a great Paul Chambers solo). I'm Confessin' That I Love You is essential Paul alone for four minutes of pure beauty.
