About
Paul Chambers wraps up the solo sequence with two choruses on acoustic bass, the last of three improvisations. Taken at an up-tempo swing tempo of 201 BPM over the 36-bar ABA in D♭, the improvisation moves with confident, driving energy. Chambers then takes center stage with two bass choruses that showcase his extraordinary technique, his arco and pizzicato playing both melodically compelling and rhythmically precise. Recorded for the album Chambers' Music in 1956, the performance captures Paul Chambers at 20 to 21 years old. Paul Chambers and John Coltrane tackle Benny Golson's "Stablemates" on the 1956 album Chambers' Music, delivering a muscular performance of the tune's challenging 36-bar ABA form.
Paul Chambers was 20 to 21 years old at the time.
