Bassist Paul Chambers -- "Trane's Strain" and more!

Paul Chambers emerged from the fertile Detroit scene and came to New York at age 19. A year later, he was a member of Miles Davis’s quintet. And why not? He had it all: a beautiful tone, a fluid technique, a great choice of notes, impeccable time and a magnificent sense of swing. He could even take a bowed solo and keep it interesting and in tune. His fruitful associations with Davis bandmates John Coltrane, Red Garland and Philly Joe Jones spread well beyond the confines of the quintet. In fact, the threesome of Coltrane, Chambers and Philly Joe formed the core for many great ‘50s projects, including the first three Chambers-led sessions.
