Description

Jazz double bass refers to music prominently featuring the upright bass as a lead or prominent voice rather than purely accompaniment. The instrument's deep, resonant tones provide melodic improvisation and rich harmonic foundation, showcasing technical virtuosity through pizzicato plucking and occasional bowing. This tag captures performances where the double bass takes center stage, from bebop walking lines to avant-garde explorations.
