The Role of a Jazz Bass Player - Stick to the basics or stretch out?

Jazz Lesson/Demonstration with Olivier Babaz

What is the role of the double bass player and when should we stick to it?

Olivier Babaz talks about the role of the double bass as an accompanying instrument. When and how should bassists should stick to their role with a basic bass line, and when they should stretch out? Olivier demonstrates how the two different approaches sound with soloist Sam Dunn on guitar.
