In today’s new video we’re going to be looking at the 20 best jazz fusion bass players of the 1970s. This was an insanely hard list for me to nail down because I’m such a HUGE fan of jazz fusion!
So much so, that I’ve actually split this video into 2 parts: Part 1 is going to feature the bass players who were born before 1970. Part 2 is going to focus on the guys who were born after 1970. If that sounds crazy, you’re right, it is - but any list like this is always a bass player’s bunfight!
Here’s who I think deserves to sit among the 20 greatest jazz fusion bass players in history. Let me know in the comments section if I’ve missed any of your favourites!
As always, see you in the shed…
Scott :)

As Victors Bailey’s cousins and also a bassist it warmed my heart to see victor on this list. Was also cool to see my old teacher Tom Kennedy on here too! ❤️🙏🏾
I'd have VB at the top of my list. Very much missed, but certainly not forgotten legend. 👍
Oh my god! As a 45 years old bass player who's playing bass for nearly 30 years, you covered all the Godfathers that I studied. Thank you Scott, that was an amazing experience.

Fantastic video. Some notable omissions:
Marcus Miller
Anthony Jackson
Jimmy Johnson
Ralphe Armstrong
Jonas Hellborg
Darryl Jones
Jonas Hellborg & Victor Wooten!
I would definitely also add Victor Wooten and Anthony Jackson
Hell yes Ralphe Armstrong!!!
Victor Wooten and Marcus Miller are huge omissions, but I think they play too much funk and not enough jazz or fusion to make the list.
@@ButchRalph (NOTE: Mile Davis was one of the inventors of fusion and later incorporated a lot of the funk in his newer fusion music, Marcus was one his fav bass players of choice) That video list was pretty good. He shined some attention to some lesser known and awesome musicians and did it with enthusiasm! Victor is a another fusion titan to me. Mr. Wooten also with Bella Fleck even did some fusion music then, taking it in new uncharted directions. Vital Tech Tones· Steve Smith · Scott Henderson · Victor Wooten some of my favorite fusion of that decade. www.allmusic.com/artist/victor-wooten-mn0000178114/credits
So awesome that you mentioned Alain Caron of UZEB.!
You even found footage of him on a four string. He's been using a six string sine the late 80's.
I think that my have been a piccolo bass. I agree one of my favorite bassist and bands.
It’s actually a standard tuned 4 string, the reason he can get those very high notes is because that bass had a staggering 36 frets!
Alain is the direct cousin of my brother-in-law. He is a huge deal in the bass world in Quebec. He is off the radar screen in the States but he is very well known in Europe. The other dudes in Uzeb were very good too. The guys on this list are pretty much all killers.
Jimmy Haslip simply turned the bass upside down and played it! Amazing!!
He use a LH bass strunged reversely... B down and C up..
Sort of. It's a left handed bass but strung as a RH bass turned upside down. Guitar players like Doyle Bramhall II are known to flip a RH guitar & leave the strings as is.
Down is up and up is down ( jimmy). I’d have to say Berlin is the baddest, he can slap, tap, pop and percolate like a tornado. Listen to “players” and the songs like “ Freight Train Shuffle” and “Joe Frazier”.Scott, once again, Great video and I’m not just saying that because I’m bald glasses, facial hair and a bassist!
Abraham Laboriel? Victor Wooten? These 2 are monsters of jazz fusion.
Nope they both suck so bad lmafo
I can’t believe you missed Jimmy Johnson. His solo on Panic Station - Holdsworth is a masterclass
Yeah! Perkin Percy! Always loved Brand X.
My favourite melodic bass solo
great list but missed Jonas Hellborg & Victor Wooten too!
@@stasiu414 ì8
He DEFINITELY deserved to be on this list.
Unsung hero Doug Rauch! As a young guitarist I was listening to Lenny White's Venusian Summer album and stunned by Ray Gomez on guitar. But when I listened to the bassist, Doug Rauch fill the whole foundation I was truly blown away. Can't find any decent videos but he deserves recognition.
Dougie, as they used to call him, was phenomenal! He died young so I didn't expect to see him on any list. Check out Life & Times by Billy Cobham, and he also did live gigs with Cobham/Duke band.
That Alphonso Johnson and Bunny Brunnel solo! Monster Bassists these 🔥
It was a great experience and privilege to once share the stage with Di Piaza here in Uganda 🇺🇬
(Early in the vid), Alphonso & Brunnel blew me away! Jaco owes those guys...big time!
I wish Scott talked about Tetsuo Sakurai, the bassist of Casiopea!
so true! he’s amazing with the bass
He's DEFINITELY a "Godfather" and deserves to be on that list.
Domino line's solo is a masterpiece
Sakurai is a beast! Definitely deserves a spot on the list. Maybe scott is considering him more of a funk player and didn't count him for the list
@@JJ_5289 I guess you're right. I hope he talks about him some day.
No Steve Swallow love? I saw him four years ago with John Scofield. His solo on Bartender Blues literally brought me to tears
yeah right, more of a jazz guy than fusion player but always worth mentioning. And I missed his playin with John Scofield, thanks a lot for the tip ! (another tip; Steve at play with Kip Hanrahan)
Although Swallow playing on the ‘Country For Old Men’ album, has no mention of any solo whatsoever. It must have a one-off on the night you went to see them performing!
Scott - I may, or may not have commented on this previously - either way - I've had a few cold ones and I'm watching this for a 5th time. This is one of THEE most incredible lists of my, personally influential, and all-time-favorite bass players. Absolutely JAW-DROPPING talent in this contribution! LOVE IT! Videos like this warm my heart and make me feel incredibly happy to have been a part of their music during my formative years! Thanks so much!
Jimmys bass is strung backwards. The same that as a left hand player, you learned on a flipped over right hand instrument.
I feel dumb that I didn't catch that. Oh well.
but its made that way so the knobs don't get in the way and the cut out is the lefty side to reach higher notes. as opposed to like the Mononeon way, just a flipped right handed
I played guitar in a band with a bassist who played flipped. He came up with some really cool lines. He wrote a tune on guitar that took two guitarists to play because the shapes that are easy flipped are very difficult the other way around.
MonoNeon plays his bass like that too.
It's a Roscoe too. Awesome basses
Marcus Miller, Victor Wooten, Richard Bona - not on the list but definitely godfathers of Jazz fusion too
Ngomong naon teungarti uing he
Anying ada org indo nyasar ksini hahaha
"Before 1970"
These are 3 guys I would definitely included, especially Marcus for his frettless solos
@@user-by2dz6oj6b Marcus Miller: 1959
Victor Wooten: 1964
Richard Bona: 1967
Michael Manring , Jimmy Johnson, Anthony Jackson
S Ram Redd indeed
I watched Tom Kennedy in Roni Scott’s I’m a drummer a went to watch Dave Weckl and spent the night just in awe of Tom who smiled throughout the gig he just radiates the love he has for his instrument.
Wow Scott, this will put the cat amongst the pigeons within the Bass playing community. There will be many who don't recognise this as Bass playing for those who "just" want to hear/play a rock steady beat and hold it together for the rest of the band.
What these players have done is push the frontiers for our instrument, who show what it (them?) can really do, rather than it just being a background instrument supporting other musicians. More power to them, I say!!
There were many that I was familiar with but also several that I didn't know and, as you say, should be better known.
Thank you for opening my eyes and ears, to another bread of Bassist.
Great selection. . Honourable mentions to Darryl Jones, Benny Rietveld, Abe Laboriel, Gerald Veasley, Neil Jason, Jamaaladeen, Anthony Jackson, John Giblin etc...
Yeah & GERARD Veasley for the connoisseur ....... Indeed so many other out there
An honorable mention for Anthony Jackson diminishes the entire list. What is it that people think he does?
You always give a great presentation of not just bass playing but music itself 😊
You forgot LA Bass legend Abe Laboriel. Come on now!
@Lord of Aragon
ABSOLUTELY, BROTHER. His Musicianship On The "FRIENDSHIP" Album With Lee Ritenour Was Landmark For Me!!! 👍
As a bass player, I got to jam with Abe Jr. a couple of times in L.A. in the 90's. Amazing player as is his dad.
yeah man
I vote on Laboriel too!
Virtuositic (is that an existing word?), charismatic, graceful, emotional and ofcourse soooo groovy!
I was thinking the same
Thanks so much I love this kind of stuff
JB's playing on Allan's 'Road Games' record is one of my favorites. In particular his brief solo at the tail end of title track I simply adore, so melodic.
Fantastic video! This really takes me back to when I first started learning the bass and discovering some of these players for the first time. Jaco, Berlin, Patitucci, Willis... on n on... yes.
Thank you for this. Love seeing these greats playing.
How oh how could you skip over the legendary Abe Laboriel? So many album credits. So versatile. Small hands - big sound.
You forgot the Master NICO ASSUMPÇÃO. You can’t forget a guy that influenced Patitucci.
Nico Assumpção was one of the greatest, as an improviser, doble bass, early 6 string bass, composer. A HUGE influence.
Man i love your pfffff expresion xD!! I really feel it!! It’s ridiculously awesome to connect with such great sounds and artists! Love your vids BTW!! 🔥🔥
Great video!! Lots of memories in there!
great that Kai Eckhardt is featured here, my mentor for about a year now with his 108 day program. Such an inspiring bass player and teacher.
Great to see respect for Percy Jones, absolute beast.
I found so much inspiration from this video and some new bass players to check out !
Wow, this intro! Beautiful, Scott!
Before I watched it... Thank you Scott, this is probably the hardest list in the world
No Anthony Jackson - who has PLAYED WITH FUSION ARTISTS SUCH as Al Demiola, Mike Stern, Lee Ritneour, Steve Khan, Hiromi, Michel Camilo... C'mon Scott WTF... (I had to update as a few bassist really didn't understand the original message).
Al DiMeola...? Mike Stern...? Michel Camilo...?
Dude, seriously...?
The video is called 'The Top 20 Fusion BASSISTS of All Time?
As in, you know... BASS...
@@Carehuea Wait - you misunderstood; these are all examples of jazz fusion artists/bands that Anthony Jackson has played with - I've played bass for 40 years, I kinda know the difference :-)
Mike Stern plays guitar...
@@smithjeff3002 I had to update my original comment as a few of you just didnt read it properly - I know Mike Stern plays guitar, so does Al Dimiola, Lee Ritneour and Steve Khan)
@@alvinburrell You know what Rodrigo meant Mr. Ive been playing for 40 years but we've never heard of you. Anthony Jackson should be on this video without question. Who are you again????
really awsome to hear the collection bass legends. nice scott, good job
Great presentation Scott, very educational and I'm not even a bass player. Looking forward to the next video.
As powerful as Jaco’s debut with Weather Report was, Alphonso Johnson’s playing on the most of Black Market had a HUGE impact on my early vision and development)))))
Many who don't know about Alphonso are pretty dismissive.
It's one of my all-time favorite albums. Alphonso is such a great bassist.
My fave Weather Report album is Mysterious Traveller and Alphonso was absolutely awesome.
Nice to see Alain Caron in your list. Monster fretless player and anything from the UZEB catalog is worth checking out. His signature F Basses are among the best sounding fretless basses out there.
Absolutely
A few players I’ve never heard of - I’ve got homework to do! It was also a great reminder of my favorites. Great piece. Tom Kennedy video was bananas!
Very nice, thank you, Scott. I have been wanting you to do a dive into all these extraordinary players who are an influence to us all. The only bit I’d really like is for a deeper dive into some of them, Haslip, Caron, etc. to explore a bit more of their techniques and sounds. A bit like you’ve done with Jaco and the other guys, where there is a deep dive into someone’s technique and specific approach. Great stuff!!!! Thank you.
Bunny Brunel is my teacher!! I started at 61yrs old and I’m now 64! He took me from nothing to being in 2 bands and making a little money! Till CoVid shut everything down that’s is!!
what about the argentinian Pedro Aznar who played fretless in 76 when he was still a teenager and played with Pat Metheny and Seru Giran (fusion argentinian)
Awesome video Scott -two amazing snippets were the one with McLaughlin and number 20 with his chordal melodic approach.All of it was lovely though.
It has been a pleasure to watch and listen
Jonas Hellborg for sure and his work with Mahavishnu. Some bassists’ here I’ve not heard of - so thanks Scott. Passing it on to the next generation, brother. 🌞🙏🇬🇧🌞
How about the late Doug Rauch who performed with Lenny White, Carlos Santana and John McLaughlin on Fusion Jazz classics like Venusian Summer, Welcome, Love, Devotion and Surrender?
Thanks for this Scott !
Willis, Jeff Berlin and Percy Jones are my 3 personal favorites, very 'lyrical' as you mentioned, stunningly great technique and 3 truely original players.
Scott, U da man! Very generous to share your knowledge and love of bass. Rock on Bro!
Alain Caron! My main fusion influence! What a player! He is from my country too! Very Good List! It would be nice if you make a top 10 Progressive Rock Bass Players one day! ;)
OUi Messieurs! Let's go Alain! :)
@@doctorjones945 Ahahah! C'est un sacré bon bassiste! J'ai le Live The Last Concert avec Uzeb en 1991 à Montréal, toujours aussi impressionant! ;)
ALL Uzeb Titles!
@@erikshen1107 Such a great Band! A Fusion Essential I think!
RIP Paul Jackson just passed today
Thanks so much Scott! Great tribute!
Scott!! I like your faithful enthusiasm. It make me feel so motivated. Looking for the after '70 part!!!
If you take 19 bass players out of that list ,they will pick Jaco as THE trailblazer of all matters related to electric bass guitar. The absolute emperor of bass savagery.
But he really sounded like Bunny Brunel, didn't he. I know Jaco had a lot of influences.
@@solodad001 Jaco did not sound like Bunny Brunel ( it’s the other way around ). That live footage is from 1979, with Chick Corea’s band. Jaco’s groundbreaking solo album was released in 1976. Mr. Brunel released his first album in 1979. Before that Brunel did some work with other artists ( most notable ), Chick Corea for example beginning in 1978...
So many amazing bassists out there. Percy jones a personal favorite.
No mention of Danny Thompson????
I really enjoyed this a lot. Thank you!
So awesome to see these guys getting the recognition that they all deserve. Such amazing players, all of them!
Scott I can’t imagine 20 Bass players I agree with all your selections some of them I haven’t heard of a few but I can’t imagine you didn’t mention Ralphe Armstrong
You miss the Master Nico Assumpção! xD
yeaaah!!!!!
Indeed. The first 6 string master, electric bass soloist.
Hi Scott!! Beautiful video! My favorites Victor Bailey and Jeff Andrews... I love them!!
Scott its about time you do a feature on RICHARD BONA! We have been waitimg for this a long time.
I hope he will also be featured in part 2 of this video!
Thanks for all Scott!
I don't know how Chuck Rainey didn't make the list. I know his forte is not fusion but he crosses over all sorts of lines.
No Abraham Laboriel? 😲
Such a shame...
Excellent Video!!!!
great video scott, tx a lot
Nice to see Kai. Love him. So many of these guys were close to John Mclaughlin. Nice selection!!!
Sequels title can be “The Transcenders of Jazz Fusion Bass”. My top 3 would be: Hadrien Feraud, Evan Marien, and Junior Braguinha!
or "The Young Lions" - or Lionesses, if you include (as you should!) Mohini Dey
absolutely! big props to Evan Marien. I'd also add Michael Pipoquinha, Anthony Crawdford and Evan Brewer.
Minuto 14:01 fue absoluta magia. Muy buena lista Scott. Sabía de varios, pero no de todos. Me diste mucho que estudiar. Muchas gracias como siempre
...Hadrien Feraud, Federico Malamone, Richard Bona... thanks for the beautiful video as usual, Scott! :)
“We have a bad habit of comparing..” Thumbnail- 20 best soloists 😂😂
Without a doubt Stanley Clarke is the greatest bass player of all time- His knowledge of music and his overall body of work and his abilities on the upright bass are unmatched.
Yes, He's a Monster on Both.
I love Stanley more on Double Bass
Than I do him on Electric Bass...
Absolutely the greatest.
Thank you!
He's innovative and a great technician. I dont have him in my top ten favorite though, and thats with me being a massive RTF fan
Very cool thank you for sharing 👍
Man, I really like this list you´ve done!!!!! I totally agree wiht this. I love this bassits. They are awesome. I've listened and studied them for years!!!
I was gonna say where’s Percy jones. But he’s 2!! Well done Scotty
I had the pleasure to see Percy Jones live when he was playing with Tunnels here in NYC. Once he started playing my jaw was on the floor the entire night. What a bad ass, and he recently retired from playing with Brand X (to be replaced by Jeff Berlin).
Amen on the comparison bs: "Get over it, dudes!". Apples and oranges.
Glad you mentioned Brian Bromberg. I found out about him back in the late 90's/ early 2000's on some obscure jazz radio station in Los Angeles. I found out that he was doing a concert at The Wadsworth Theater in Westwood and went to check him out. Needless to say it was a phenomenal concert and I was blown away. And if I ever run into Jimmy Haslip, I'm going to have to ask him why he plays the bass upside down. I suspect it's because when he started learning bass guitar that left hand versions weren't that popular or easy to come by.
Fantastic,Fantastic,Fantastic video!!!!Thaks so much!!!!!
Needed to be 30 not 20: Anthony Jackson, Marcus Miller, Will Lee, Neil Jason.... all very much jazz fusion but also did sessions.... Richard Bona, Bill Dickens... only scratching the surface here
Finally Percy Jones, not omitted at last!
Great!!! love the video!!!
Congrats Scott you deserve all the success!
If there are three tent poles they would be Jaco, Berlin, Stanley. Most everyone else kind of slides in under these tent poles. Great, GREAT list!!! Where does Anthony Jackson or Mick Karn sit in the pantheon?
Uhh!! Mick Karn!! Nice
True story. My dad and I build a beautiful 5 string bass together from scratch He's a talented woodworker, but doesn't listen to anything recorded more recently than about 1950. So shortly after we finished the bass he's in an airport waiting at the gate for a flight, and he sees a guy with what looks like a bass guitar case. He walks over and asks him if its a bass, and he says yes and is very nice. My dad tells him about building our bass together and the fact we made it out of purple heart, mahogany and curly maple etc, and they have a nice conversation. Before he leaves my dad asks his name, and they part ways. So I get a text from my dad and it says "ever hear of a guy named Jimmy Haslip?" :). Here's the bass we build by the way: ruclips.net/video/MSjOMffQPUo/видео.html&ab_channel=MikeMass%C3%A9
Nice story, and nice bass not to mention playing Bryce.
Loved it. Thank you.
Scott that's perfectly chosen. Waiting for part 2 .
Very intresting! I also love jazz-fusion. I studied a lot of them during my master in my music conservatory school. I'll play some of them in my channel too 😉
Great job Scott!!!!
No Ralphe Armstrong?!?!He is one of the reason Jaco pulled his frets out of his Bass!
That's just a bullshit story from Ralphe. Jaco made his bass fretless two YEARS before the Mahavishnu encounter. Ralphe had nuthin' to do with it...
Ralph’s solo on Jean Luc potty’s eccoetric molecules is one of my favs
@@normanhirschfeld3823 It's true in one sense. Jaco was already playing fretless when he auditioned for Mahavishnu but he showed up with a fretted one. Ralphe didn't hesitate to bring the fretless and got the gig. That experience made him definitely come out as a fretless bass player Imo.
@@rudytormento9753 If he showed up with a fretted bass then that explains it. But I seriously doubt that the experience made any difference in Jaco's development or devotion to the fretless. You gotta remember that he was already fully formed by this point, and was proving it every night down in Florida. He just wasn't a household name yet.
@@rudytormento9753 You're wrong. Like I said, fretless had been his main instrument for two years already. I have no idea why he chose to show up with his fretted bass for the Mahavishnu try out. But It's rather far fetched to say that just spending an hour or two in the company of another fretless bassplayer altered his direction in any way. If anything happened, it would be that he regretted that he for whatever reason chose to show up without his fretless on this RARE occasion. I'm sorry, but Ralphe had absolutely no influence on the musical path Jaco was on. It's just not true, no matter how much you WANT it to be. But does it really matter? Both Ralphe and Jaco left an everlasting impact on the bassworld regardless...
Man, you did a real great selection!!!
Totally enjoyed this
My fav are easily Jaco Pastorious and Marcus Miller. They have the best styles in my opinion and you can definitely learn a lot from them.
Same here. I think Jaco and Marcus not only have the most signature sound unique to the way they play that tops all the other players, but they were also arrangers, composers, genius writers and collaborators. Both Marcus and Jaco could do it all. It’s not that easy to be an amazing writer and an amazing collaborator never mind reinvent the bass the way Jaco did which will always put him at no. 1 for me but I also think Marcus reinvented the bass as far as combining funk with fusion and his slaw technique, for me, tops the slap technique of say Flea, who is a monster, monster player…but Marcus is more musical. Jaco’s Portrait of Tracy is the greatest song ever written for bass ( or Continuum based on your preference) and Marcus’s bass lines with Luther, Sanborn, solo projects are all as musical as it gets but I think most people don’t realize he wrote Miles last few albums like TUTU which you have to be a musical genius to write. Marcus and Jaco all day for me.
It's strung backwards, the "E" string is on the bottom.
It's a 6 string bass so the low string is a B. The first time I saw him I was completely disorientated watching him play a left handed, upside down bass.
@David Willbourne Contrary to popular belief, Jimi didn't string his guitar upside down.
Great video!
Great Video!
The real ones know who Brian Bromberg is 😎
In 2012 or so I went to Gerald Veasley's Midnight Jam at Berks Jazz Fest. Various players from the jazz fest would sit in and jam with Gerald. This guy with glasses and curly hair came up with his green Carvin bass and absolutely killed it. My jaw hit the floor. That was my intro to Brian Bromberg.
Bromberg is on a another level altogether.But don't forget Jimmy Johnson and Will Lee.
@@mattfoley6082 I was at that midnight Jam. Love Brian and Gerald.
@@mattfoley6082 Brian is not just a great player but such a nice and personable guy. I met him when he was playing with Jeff Lorber but lots of years ago, I got his record "downright upright" for Christmas. I emailed him that night to tell him how much I liked it and I had a reply by the next morning.
leaves me out !!
If you're doing the sequel, then Sean Malone has to be featured.
Unfortunately I think he gets forgotten in Jazz and Fusion discussions because most people think of him with Cynic, which while very jazzy does still fall under the Prog Metal umbrella.
Great choice. Among my top 20 there‘d we welsh bass player Laurence Cottle. So in love with his tone. He is a great composer and arranger, too. Sounds so amazing on WAL basses.
Totally enlightening!
Rest in Peace Paul Jackson, Helluva bassist!
Wow! Hard to believe you didn’t add Ralphe Armstrong from his work with Jean-Luc Ponty. I’d call him a primary player in the jazz fusion genre in its 70’s heydays.
Mahavishnu Orchestra
Scott failed to include many great bassists born before 1970, his list was good but not great. How could U overlook Victor Wooten, Marcus Miller, and Will Lee?
Scott thanks for another great video, and a big THANK YOU for including Brian Bromberg. I totally agree that he should be way more famous and known than he is, but more importantly, I have yet to see anyone as insanely proficient as he is on all 4 instruments: upright, electric, fretless, and piccolo bass guitars (with the exception of Stanley Clarke of course). A Big Salute to all the legends in the video.
Thank you, old favorites and (for me) some discoveries!
