Remebering Paul Chambers on his birthday !!

(English / Español)

Paul Laurence Dunbar Chambers, Jr. (April 22, 1935 – January 4, 1969) was a jazz double bassist.

A fixture of rhythm sections during the 1950s and 1960s, his importance in the development of jazz bass can be measured not only by the length and breadth of his work in this short period but also his impeccable time and intonation, and virtuosic improvisations.

He was also known for his bowed solos.

Chambers recorded some dozen albums as a leader or co-leader, and prolifically as a sideman notably as the anchor of trumpeter Miles Davis's "first great quintet" (1955-63) and with pianist Wynton Kelly (1963-68).

*****

Paul Laurence Dunbar Chambers, Jr. (22 de abril de 1935 - 4 de enero de 1969) fue un contrabajista de jazz.

Un fijo de las secciones rítmicas durante las décadas de 1950 y 1960, su importancia en el desarrollo del bajo de jazz puede medirse no sólo por la longitud y amplitud de su obra en este corto periodo, sino también por su impecable compás y entonación, y sus virtuosas improvisaciones.

También era conocido por sus solos de arco.

Chambers grabó una docena de álbumes como líder o colíder, y fue muy prolífico como músico de acompañamiento, sobre todo como ancla del "primer gran quinteto" del trompetista Miles Davis (1955-63) y con el pianista Wynton Kelly (1963-68).Chambers recorded some dozen albums as a leader or co-leader, and prolifically as a sideman notably as the anchor of trumpeter Miles Davis's "first great quintet" (1955-63) and with pianist Wynton Kelly (1963-68).

Miles Davis Sextet - San Francisco Civic Auditorium, San Francisco, California, March 4, 1960

One of the more sought-after jazz holy grails is the 1961 tape of Wes Montgomery and Eric Dolphy sitting in with John Coltrane's band at the Monterey Jazz Festival. This ain't it — though I'm under the impression that it's not just a pipe-dream. Instead, we've got an acetate of Coltrane playing about a year earlier with Wes Montgomery's brother Buddy on vibes. Oh yeah, there's also some guy named Miles Davis onstage, too.

It's a 20+ minute audience tape of middling (but not terrible) quality that emerged on eBay sometime in the last few years. This is JC at the tail-end of his tenure with Miles, taking the then-fairly-new "So What" into the stratosphere. New sounds from Trane, but the SF audience seems pretty into it. How do the Montgomery vibes work? Pretty nicely, even in this abbreviated context. Though maybe the taper disagreed — he stops recording somewhere in the middle of Buddy's solo! Rude. Did Miles ever employ a vibesman after this? Not sure. But maybe he should have!
