I have recently made some amazing discoveries of some really great Jazz bass guitar players and just wanted to see if there is anyone I am missing.
I play both 4 and 5 string and also upright, but I must say that my somewhat modified 65 pbass (sacrilege I know) is by far my favorite and the instrument that I am most comfortable with.
Anyhow I have been listening to:
Jeff Andrews
Jeff Berlin
Avishai Cohan
Steve Swallow
Any others out there? (past or present)  |

Of course he is at the top of my list. I have just thought of another one - Jack Bruce. |

Check out CAB, Bunny Brunel and Tony MacAlpine. Bunny is a smokin fretless player and Tony is no slouch.
Oh, Bunny plays a 5'er. Oh well, worth a listen anyway. |
