Paul Warburton said:I think James' initial question had to do with essential listening that includes listening to the "acoustic bass"
I would hardly include " A Love Supreme"
I think your first list of "essential DB players" is pretty much right on....Then you stepped on your sanity by including A Love Supreme......What happened?
Ok, I was thinking more in the line of essential jazz discs in general when I wrote that I suppose. Jimmy Garrison isn't my favourite bass player but if you wanna check him out "A love Supreme" is a good place to do so. And of course the album in general is something else, for sure.
