Double Bass Most interesting jazz double bassists under 40?

[Anthony White]

I'm feeling out of touch with what is happening with newer bassists, so I wondered if I could ask people to contribute to a list?

Who are your most interesting jazz double bassists at or under the age of, say, forty at the moment?
Links appreciated.

(Why forty? Well, it seems that it nowadays it takes about ten years to become established, then allows another ten to establish a body of work.)

Russell Hall, Eric Revis, Danny Ziemann, and Ike Sturm are the first to come to mind.

Luke Stewart, Brandon Lopez, Sean Riddle, Inga Margrete Aas, Kyle Motl, I am sure I will remember more.

Revis IS fantastic, though!

Oops! He plays young.

Let me add David Wong. I have no idea how I could have forgotten him.

By the time I was 40 I had already quit playing bass (cold turkey) until I started again in my early 60's.

Anyway, I hear 60 is the new 40. Of course I never believe that when I drag myself out of bed in the morning.

Ari Roland is 50, but he's still worth checking out.

Likewise Neal Miner, just now 50.

Mark Lewandowski

Peter Slavov Not sure how old Peter is, he might be past your "under 40" designation. But I heard him a lot before I left NYC and I've been digging his record LITTLE STORIES a LOT!

 

[Ed Fuqua]

Oh yeah, Yasushi Nakamura, Gary Wang, Peter Brendler...

 

[Tom Lane]

Linda May Han Oh.
Katie Thiroux.
Esperanza Spalding.

Wanna start a thread about interesting bassist's OVER 40?

 

[oren]

Linda May Han Oh is one of my faves. Luques Curtis also comes to mind. I also really like Vicente Archer, who isn’t too far past 40.

Peter Slavov is great! I got to see him right before the pandemic, and a guitarist I play with did a gig with him and spoke very highly of his playing. I also don’t know how old he is, though.
Kris Funn may be under 40? I dunno. Thomas Morgan sounds great on the new Bill Frisell album that came out around August.

 

[Michael Glynn]

Matt Brewer

 

[Keith Rawlings]

I was going to say Jasper Hoiby, but he’s 43. He’s damn good though. Love Phronesis!

Rick Rosato?

Esperanza Spalding
Daryl Johns

Russell Hall, already mentioned, is killing it with the Emmet Cohen Trio. They've been doing a Monday night broadcast on Facebook during the pandemic that is dee-licious.
