In July of 1957, when Paul Chambers recorded Bass on Top, his third and final Blue Note release as a leader, he was already in his third year with the most influential jazz group of the time, the first great Miles Davis Quintet he had just taken part in the Davis/Gil Evans Orchestra sessions that led to the classic Miles Ahead album and he was appearing with the Davis Quintet and its new saxophonist Sonny Rollins at the Cafe Bohemia in New York. Chambers was twenty-two years old and firmly established as one of the top bass players in Jazz.
This brilliantly seductive album features stalwarts Hank Jones on piano, Kenny Burrell on guitar, and Art Taylor on drums. Highlights include the chamber-jazz interpretation of Jerome Kern s Yesterdays and a lightly swinging version of Dear Old Stockholm, a tune often associated with Miles Davis who was Chambers employer at the time.
