He's a pioneer of Latin jazz bass playing. He recorded the composition "Tanga" w/ Machito and the Afro-Cuban in 1948, historians say that it all started w/ that tune, at least on the NY scene. I can go on and on about Bobby, he's a God to me and many others in this genre. |

| | | | I would totally agree with Ruben about Bobby, he was definitely the man. Check out Descargas At The Village Gate, Vol. 3 by the Tico All Stars. It has a song called Descargas de Contrabajos - its a little under 20 minutes of Cachao and Bobby Rodriguez trading bass solos. Its a very cool track, an incredible study! |

| | | | Someone mentioned Al McKibbon earlier on this thread - got me thinking and took another listen to his album Tumbao Para Los Congueros de mi Vida. What a killer album! He does some great latin versions of Monk tunes as well as other great standards (and original tunes). Lots of bass soloing from him as well - really tasty stuff. His stuff with Cal Tjader is of course classic and totally worth checking out, but I really dig this album. |

Heaviest gig probably with Gonzalo Rubalcaba, and that's heavy, man.
Plays upright and 5 and 6 string electric.
