When I first heard pearl jam,I didn't paid much attention at all, until I listened to their debut album,Ten.Their entire carreer is amazing, and the songwriting is excellent.Jeff Ament is a creative bassist,and very talented,and has influenced me one way or the other.

...as well he should, especially depending upon the type of music you play. I had sort of dismissed Ament's playing for a long time, but picked up Ten again last year and give it a listen for the first time in a long time. He is a very steady, tasteful player. Not flashy, but then, their music does not call for flashiness. In the end, if a bassist's style and lines suit the music, it makes the player sound that much better.

If you have a chance,check out their live bootleg: State College Pennsylvania,May 3rd 2003.This is a 3cd live concert.Jeff plays very simple,nothing complicated,but very deep from his heart.

Jeff's got a nice collection of basses as well. Watch some of the DVD's Pearl Jam has put out.

I think he is a great bassist and really compliments Stone and Mike. He writes a lot of stuff too.

I like him. He's cool :)

I love the looks of that Azola in the second pic.
Tasteful player too.

I saw pearl jam's live at the garden dvd today and really I enjoyed the performance.Jeff is pretty good with the upright bass as well.
