I've recently started listening to jazz, especially jazz that features bass. What artists should I listen to?

Jaco, John Patitucci, Bela Fleck, Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, Brian Bromberg, Brubeck Brothers, Mike Pope , Chick Corea, just to name a few.

Jazz is amazingly chromatic in the solo sections purely considering that's what establishes the distinctive music. yet there is new age jazz. For a extra exciting feeling maybe try Convergence Zone by utilising Phil Kelly and the Northwest winning Winds or Trombone Shorties new album on iTunes. you will at last choose to artwork backwards in time and an artist to hearken to from there is Duke Ellington. I comprehend your discomfort with jazz, you purely could locate what pursuits you.

Jaco Pastorius

Victor Wooten - plays with a band called Bella Fleck and the Flecktones and is seen as one of the best bass players in the business right now.

Mike Gordon - Phish

Chris Wood - Medeski Martin and Wood (check them out for sure)

Try Charlie Parker, or Louis Armstrong they are both good

'Money Jungle' by Duke Ellington, Max Roach, and Charles Mingus
