Paul Chambers and Ray Brown are the greatest bass musicians to ever live. I am kicking back on an Easter Sunday afternoon, listening to Chambers play with Art Pepper. It's good for the soul...God Bless the guy.

Wynton Kelly Trio performance

I added "Smokin' At The Half Note" to the list of suggested recordings.

Lovely writing here, but

I thought at least an attempt at non-pov writing was the preferred approach here. This thing reads like a personal essay intended for a jazz magazine, not an encyclopedia. (Duke Ellington airport??? Come on now.

There's also an incredible video clip on www.youtube.com.  Under "The Wynton Kelly Trio with John Coltrane".  Unbelievable, it's like re-discovering Paul Chambers.

The author leaves a lot of great bass players out. Certainly the list of names associated with the extended capabilities of the instrument simply must include Scott Lefaro and Gary Peacock, and lets not forget Charlie Mingus.

Largely plagiarzed w/o citation

Most of the "Influence" section is copied straight from the liner notes for the P.C. album Whims of Chambers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.111.192.232 (talk) 01:31, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
