Who are some young guys that are stirring up NYC and other places right now in Jazz/creative music on double bass? Who do we need to be listening to?

In England Aiden O'Donnell is great and young, as are Phil Donkin, Dave Whitford, Sam Burgess. |

And some guy named Marco Panascia has been sending my students into a frenzy with his youtube videos... 
I can't remember his full name, but there's an Australian bassist named (I think) Matt something-or-other (something with a C) whom a bunch of trusted NY compadres have said is "everyone's new favorite bassist." Not so helpful, I know--maybe Marco knows of whom I speak? |

I saw Thomas a couple months ago with Dave Binney, and just recently saw Eivind in Baltimore with Tony Malaby's Tone Collector. Both were very impressive players. |

I am here in Philly tonight, playing with Eldar and Kendrick Scott. Kendrick is Derrick's bandmate in Terence Blanchard's group.
Man, there's just so many amazing bassists out there! It's really inspiring.

Chris Wood is the funkiest cat I've ever seen in person. I really like the album he did with his brother called "Ways Not to Lose". It's some of the funkiest stuff I've ever heard on DB.
I saw them live at Summerfest in Milwaukee, WI. Chris played with his brother then played with Medeski, Martin, & Wood.
I love many kinds of music. To my ears there is nothing better than funky grooves on a DB.
I wish I could find more guys to listen to who can lay down the funk like him.
