Who's Your Favorite Bass Players; Why?

I like Paul Chambers for his groove and arco. Sam Jones for his Time. Rufus Reid becaues he taught me. Jaco because of the absolute passion. Christian McBride because he's the MAN righ now--and he's the director of the Brubeck Institute at the University of the Pacific, which is my Alma Mater; Ron Carter because of everything he's recorded; George Maraz because of his soul; Richard Davis because of his intensiity; Reggie Workman due to his authenticity; Lonnie Plaxico because of his work with he Jazz Messengers; Scott LaFaro--BECAUSE HE'S THE BEST! (Eddie Gomez and Chuck Isreal are cool, too!). Who're you 'un?

Agree that Christian McBride is the man right now, but
fortunately there's a lot interesting younger players like Reid Anderson from The Bad Plus and James Cammack
who's on Ahmad Jamal's new CD.

Always enjoyed Gary Peacock, who should be nominated
for sainthood for having to listen to Keith Jarret sing.
