I'm soliciting suggestions for an upcoming "Dozens" piece that I'm writing for jazz.com. What are your favorite recorded jazz bass solos of all time? Please leave a comment or drop me an email if you'd like to suggest a favorite track. Thanks.

BTW, if you haven't visited the site yet, it is a lot of fun to read through their interviews and track reviews.

Current bassists under consideration:

Jimmy Blanton
Charles Mingus
Ray Brown
Red Mitchell
Scott LaFaro
Charlie Haden
Christian McBride
Eddie Gomez
George Mraz
Oscar Pettiford
Dave Holland
Michael Moore
