Really liked his trio playing with Michel Camilo and Horacio Hernandez, as seen, here, in a clip from the great "Calle 54" Latin jazz documentary/concert film YouTube - Michel Camilo (from within) |

Well. looky here: YouTube - | I feel there are many great bassists, but Anthony Jackson is simply on another level of understanding when it comes to the bass guitar. It is amazing how he gets such an acoustic sound out his bass during that solo!

Here's a version of this old standard that smokes like a locomotive, w/ Petrucciani, Gadd and a horn section. It also has a solo by Anthony... YouTube - Take The A Train

| To my ears, he echoes classical or flamenco guitars in his solo and ensemble playing, especially with Michel Camillo.

To my ears, his sound is more piano-like than double bass-like.

Jim | I hear the grand piano thing too, especially in his older recordings. That is an acoustic vibe too, of course.

I find that the stuff he does as part of the rhythm section is far more impressive than the soloing. Quote:
