Examples of palm muting in walking bass?

[Jim Kalbach]

Anyone know of good examples of palm muting in jazz walking bass?

Teymur Phell gives a great example on Mike Stern's recent album Trip. Check out "B Train":

This is a contrafact for "Take The A Train." In the first choruses, Teymur walks with muting. Then he opens up for the sax solo (right after Mike's solo). The effect adds a sense of orchestration to the small group, with the regular walking contrasting the muted walking in the first half of the tune.

I don't know of other examples and would love to hear if you know of any.

Cheers,
Jim

...which apparently Will Lee got from Rocco Prestia, of Tower of Power fame:

Anthony Jackson uses this technique on occasion. Since A Train is mentioned above, have a listen to this rendition...

Well done, he had me second guessing whether he was playing an upright bass.
