Paul Chambers Sextet 1956

[treetrunkss940]

im a hip hop head n i also love heavy metal but i  find myself leaving the channel on the sirius radio jazz station alot idk what it is that draws me to it i guess i just love the complexity of the bass and the smooth rhythyms

[nitenday12]

The word classic is a little overused these days but, man, what a cool band... classic.

people i think we are forgetting our dear ray brown here :)

@unclejunglebass what you just said, is how I feel about what you just said...

[plooshed]

i love this guy.....

[jackrocker1060]

Mr Chambers is the Bassists from which all Bassists are judged. The true NO 1. His time is impeccable,unyielding and swings like no other.As Miles was to jazz in general Chambers is to bass.

[lickmyballs2113]

paul chambers gets the best walking sound out of his bass possibly in all of jazz

[countryboyrunning]

if you like chambers then look up mingus. He will blow your mind even if your a electric bassist. You will enjoy mingus to the fullest extent

[Nireves33]

@countryboyrunning Jimmy Garrison is also worth checking out, I especially like his work on A Love Supreme pt 2, the intro with the bass chords is freaking sweet.

[dreadtodred]

@Nireves33 jimmy was deep too

[dreadtodred]

sounds like paul used gut strings

[dreadtodred]

I think paul chambers is still the model bass player to build from.Not only representative from the 50,s but also forward

[jonjonz91]

does the melody start on the 3& before the first bar or is it just me?

[bassface84]

correct

[jamietrhcp17]

@jonjonz91 I think it must just because of the brush pattern.

[grungesnotdead]

@jonjonz91 there's a downbeat, three eighths. So yea you're right

[dreadtodred]

Paul was one the greatest if not the...bassist ever perfect pitch,immaculate

[60otaku3]

I think Paul Chambers was one of representative jazz bassists in late 50's.

[UnderTheBamboooTree]

@dreadtodred: perfect pitch --> except when he's playing arco :) (but one of the greatest bassplayers in history, that's true)

[dreadtodred]

@UnderTheBamboooTree you know hard that gets when you are doing so much

[dreadtodred]

This riff with Paul kicks me in my a-- LOL

[Nekronaut321]

i love that bass solo. to me its the ultimate bass solo. and im a electric bass player.

[Lyrikk09]

Yea, I totally agree. I'm a electric bass player also and I think that this bass solo is amazing. Paul Chambers all the way.

[MrMassi86]
