Jazz Bass All Over The Place

eMusic is helping me put some more Mingus on my iPod right now, so it's a good time to take a look at bassists and their place as jazz bandleaders. The good folks at AccuJazz have put up a bass-centric channel called Covering All The Bassists that feature Mr. Mingus and many, many more. NPR has also gotten in on the act with their Take Five sampler. Some of the best are up there, and it's a shame there's only five tracks to peruse. Enjoy.

In the past few months, the #lnjf show had Bootsy Collins, Meshell Ndegeocello & Victor Wooten sit in w/the Roots. I'm happy. Just sayin'. 8 hours ago

Musicians can now buy seats for instruments, guaranteeing safe travels, elbow room, and maybe an extra bag of peanuts. http://t.co/iaM64uoG 2 days ago
I own amps I love to use, but I also love not moving them & using a perfectly good rig elsewhere. Glad I know folks who make it happen. :) 2 days ago
