When jazz bass virtuoso Paul Chambers recorded "Bass On Top" in 1957, his third and final album as a leader for Blue Note, he was only 22 years old but already well-established as one of the top bassists in jazz. This album features Hank Jones on piano, Kenny Burrell on guitar, and Art Taylor on drums. Highlights include the chamber-jazz interpretation of Jerome Kern's "Yesterdays" and a lightly swinging version of "Dear Old Stockholm," a tune often associated with Miles Davis, who was Chambers' employer at the time.
