I know lots and lots of jazz bassists that really know how to groove and know where to put the notes and where not to, but I've often pondered who my favorite one of all time would be. I think after all the cd's and videos that I've heard and seen I must say that it's a toss up between Tom Kennedy and/or Jimmy Johnson. Those two are some of my favorite jazz bassists, and yes, I do prefer jazz bassists to most other styles of bassists simply because I like jazz a lot.
So who's yours?
