Beth's souvenir

Just as the flea's thrash-funk bass style swept the bass world, as early as 60 years ago, John Lindsay, the bassist of Jelly Roll Morton Orchestra, played upright bass with slap. Long before Korn's Fieldy's cynical music philosophy, Pops Foster, the bassist of New Australia, also expressed his dissatisfaction to the world in the same way. The so-called "cause and effect have a cause", all phenomena seem to be inherited from time to time, the difference is that the more innovative, the more diligent. In this series of articles, we will list the evolution of musical styles in various periods of the 20th century, famous bassists, classic albums and important notes of that period.

Milt Hinton, a representative figure of this period.

Milton Hinton's musical career spans the history of modern jazz. He was born in 19 10. He joined the cab calloway Orchestra in 1936 and stayed in the orchestra for 15 years. During his stay with the cab calloway Philharmonic Orchestra, he recorded two of the world's earliest solo tracks, Ebony Silhouette and Playing the Bass. In addition, the master who used the tapping technique in the double bass recalled: I think Bill Johnson was the first person to use this technique!

Classic albums: cab calloway 1939-40, cab calloway 1940-4 1, lionel hampton 1938-39.

Israeli crosby (19 19- 1962) was a representative figure of the period.

Compared with other swing bassists, israel crosby can bring the swing style to the extreme and show the melody in it. In Horace Henderson 1940' s album "Winging Ding", israel crosby's almost perfect and fluent playing skills are a must in the contemporary era.

Classic Albums: Fletcher Henderson 1937-38, Horace Henderson/Fletcher Henderson 1940- 194 1, Coleman Hawkins and Oscar Paddyford: Rainbow Mist.

Fanta precision bass, the representative of that era.

Leo Finder said: We must liberate the bass players who play the super bass!

The invention of Fender Precision Bass is the beginning of the history of electric bass, although other manufacturers have tried electric bass.

However, Fender Precision Bass is the first mass-produced electric bass. In addition to "electrochemical" bass, its 34-inch piano grid fingerboard is also an important contribution to the electric bass industry. With the use of famous musicians such as jazz bassist Monk Montgomery and blues bassist Dave Myers, this new bass has been expanded, and Finder continues to improve the precision bass.

1954, they introduced the precision bass; Imitate the appearance of TV guitar.

Single-coil pickup was invented in 1955 to balance the volume output between strings;

1957 classic precision bass is launched.

Lionel hampton was the first musician who suggested using the double bass. He insisted that Roy Johnson, the bassist in the orchestra, must use the P bass. After Johnson left Hampton's orchestra, Monk Montgomery took his place, so he began to use P-Bass. By playing P-Bass with Monk Montgomery, P-Bass had a great influence on the music scene at that time. In addition to many jazz musicians using P-Bass, blues musicians also used P-Bass at that time. Noisy bars and crowded stages were the best places to play this kind of loud P-Bass.

James Jameson (1938- 1983)

James Jameson is my hero, especially his melody paul mccartney. In the 1950s, there were many famous upright bassists in Detroit, such as Ron Carter ..., but only James Jameson became an electric bass genius. James Jameson, who made great contributions to pop music, created syncopation. Most Motown records are recorded with bass, including the best-selling songs of stevie wonder, smokey robinson and Marvin Gaye. His influence not only lies in pop music, but also has a far-reaching influence on later bass players.

Classic album: hits ville USA- Motown Singles, Marvin Gaye-What's going on, the highest SingHolland-Dozier Holland.

Jacques Pastori, the representative of this period.

There is no doubt that in the field of electric bass, no one can have such a far-reaching influence as Jaco. His playing touch, timbre treatment and rigorous solo are all the reasons that make him the greatest bassist in the world, such as Pi Nuo Palladino, Mark Egan and Michael Manlin. They were all influenced by Jaco and then innovated into their own styles. After jameson, Jaco once again led bassists all over the world into a new field of exploration.

A representative figure in Stanley Clark's period

Influenced by John Coltrane, jimi hendrix and others, Stanley Clark came to new york in 1970s. Two years later, he changed people's views on bass. From his early solo works to the performance of the Eternal Orchestra, he showed his immortal status as a bass connoisseur. His fame is not only related to the band, but also due to his personal ability and talent.

Classic album: Level 42-World Machine

Mike watt, a representative of that period

What kind of bass player can play such heavy rock and melody? Mike Watt proved the tension of hardcore rock and the possibility of complex performance compatibility by carefully combining the bass line with the wild performance style, and the post-punk fans in the 1980s were amazed at his performance.

Time represents a new fusion.

The location and boundary of the new fusion have been blurred. Some musicians, such as michael mann Lin, Ott Il Burbridge, Vic Wooten and Steve Bailey, are classified as syncretists. Gerald Wesley, Bryan Brown Berg,

Musicians such as Jimmy Earle and Scott Ambush are classified outside of smooth jazz. Among them, although markus miller, John Patitucci and Victor Bailey released solo albums with historical significance, they merged the playing styles of Rocco Prestia, Jaco and paul jackson with Gary Willis, a post-revolutionary in the 1980s, and triggered the popularity of new integration through Ibana's gesticulate pentastring piano.

Classic album: Gary Willis-No Sweat, Tribal Technology-Original tracks, illegal.

Michael mann Lin, a representative of that period.

Few bass players have devoted themselves to exploring the infinite field of bass performance like michael mann Lin. Whether it's a six-string, 38-degree, ungraded bass, or playing several pianos with different tuning at a time, michael mann Lin's timbre and playing skills are always so perfect, which seems to show that things can't be done without michael mann Lin.

Classic Album: michael mann Lin-Sok, High Street, Violent Measures, Windham Mountain.

Network music, the representative of that era.

With the digital revolution triggered by the Internet, musicians have new marketing methods and can sell their works all over the world. The sound quality of MP3 close to that of CD is easily available on the Internet. Can MP3 in the Internet really completely replace the record companies with huge funds? The closure of Napster seems to have given us the answer, but at least the next genius will invent new software to compete with major record companies.
