Beautiful music to soothe a leg

From the first sounds of a bowed bass, you know you are in for something special when listening to "BASS ON TOP," a 1957 album led by PAUL CHAMBERS.
I've listened to the album several times the past couple days while exiled to bed rest with an INFECTED LEFT LEG.
Chambers recorded "Bass on Top" while the 22-year-old bass player belonged to one of the most celebrated groups in jazz, the MILES DAVIS QUINTET.
On this release, as writer Joel Roberts explains:
"Chambers had obviously learned a great deal during his time with the path-breaking Davis Quintet and its young saxophone phenom John Coltrane. Indeed 'Bass on Top' sounds very much like an extension of the Davis group's work, although with a more minimal lineup of just bass, drums, piano and guitar. Chambers, whether playing with a bow or pizzicato, soloing or accompanying the rest of the quartet, is brilliant. This is quiet, thoughtful, and intelligent music played at a tremendously high level by all the musicians."
Guitarist Kenny Burrell joins Chambers, as do pianist Hank Jones and drummer Art Taylor.
They combine here to take some of the sting out of my leg. For that, I will always be grateful to this great album.
