Double Bass Great Female Double Bassists

Bryn Davies. Look her up.

+1 The former Bryn Bright - she's got f-hole tattoos on her lower back!

Jodi Proznick is a terrific young jazz bassist with tone & groove to spare.

 

[Don Higdon]

Just off the top of my head: NY freelancers Judy Sugarman, Marji and Jaqui Danilow, Louise Koby. They're from the generation after Orin O'Brien and paid some of the same dues being female bassists in the NYC classical scene. They may not be "stars", but they're great players.

Absolutely.

Amy Shook, DC/Baltimore area jazz bassist. She's got serious groove.

 

[Bass]

Scareoline.

Bass,

Your girlfriend don't look to happy?

 

[Jake deVilliers]

That's because she's left the Voodoo Dolls - maybe she's going to take Bass's job!

She's doing the next Europe tour and then she's out. The new bass player's name is Kate.

 

[Bobby King]

No one's mentioned Esperanza Spaulding? She rules!

There's a few women in Nashville who are very good , Missy Raines was already mentioned, there's also Alana Rocklin and Alison Prestwood.

Bass,

That's the story of my life.
