Israel Crosby with Charlie Christian, Meade Lux Lewis on celesta???!!!, and Edmond Hall in a session from February of 1941. This song is a blues entitled "Profoundly Blue." Crosby had some slick triplet figures going on back then that are still used by bassists today!
It is a celesta played by Lewis. Israel Crosby played with many different musicians from Jimmy Yancey to Ahmad Jamal.

Nice. Israel Crosby was a magnificent bass player, but is unfortunately very underrated.
