In this video, I'm playing through over 100 years of Jazz Bass legacy, featuring some of my favorite players. Using a G Blues, I'm going in in the style of some of my biggest heroes for one chorus each, laying out the history of bass playing and the evolution of the Jazz Bass Solo. Enjoy my tribute to just a few of the greats!
