The First Lady On Bass
Symbolic image – for the detailed description and condition, please read the Item Details below.
Carol Kaye is bass royalty—the most prolific studio bassist in history, having played on countless Motown, soul, and funk records while also maintaining a credible jazz career. This 1994 release celebrates her artistry as a leader, surrounded by an all-star cast including legendary guitarist Joe Pass, bassist Ray Brown, and keyboardists Mark Soskin and Joe Sample. The music beautifully balances soul-jazz grooves with fusion's harmonic sophistication. Kaye's bass is melodic and conversational, walking when it counts and laying down pocket grooves that anchor everything. The interplay between these masters is genuinely moving—you're hearing musicians at the absolute peak of their powers respecting and elevating each other. This is a gem worth seeking out.
