Have a nice weekend jazz lovers and giants... and... Happy Birthday Steve Swallow (born October 4, 1940). He was one of the first double bassists in jazz to switch entirely to electric bass guitar, on which he has a distinctively nimble sound. Deconstructed (1996) by electric bassist Steve Swallow is a major surprise, for his ten originals are essentially bebop, often using chord changes that sound familiar; for example, the opening Running in the Family uses the chords of Basin Street Blues. Tenor saxophonist Chris Potter (on his way to becoming one of the greats) and trumpeter Ryan Kisor have plenty of solo space, guitarist Mick Goodrick makes his presence felt, and drummer Adam Nussbaum offers stimulating support. This rare straight-ahead outing by Steve Swallow sounds fresh, lively, and creative, and it is one of his most rewarding recordings as a leader. https://youtube/watch?v=auszDDwlG4w
