Born in 1940,
white bassist Steve Swallow's credentials were already colossal thanks
to high-caliber tenures with
Paul Bley (1960-65), Jimmy Giuffre (1960-62), George Russell (1961-62),
Art Farmer (1962-65), Stan Getz (1965-67), Gary Burton (1967-70), before he
switched to the electric bass, playing it like a high-toned guitar,
almost a contradiction in terms.
He debuted with Hotel Hello (may 1974), a collaboration with Gary Burton.
His best work was probably done with Carla Bley, starting in 1978.
Swallow (november 1991), with Soca Symphony, was perhaps
his best display of technique, but his solo work was mostly hampered by inferior material.
