Astute readers of BP probably know I love Steve Swallow. To me, there are few better role models for what it means to be a musician and bassist. His sensitivity, melodicism, and groove are extraordinary. I just got an advance of the new Gary Burton, Pat Metheny, Steve Swallow, Antonio Sanchez record, called Quartet Live! on Concord. It happens to be a recording from a show I actually attended, at Yoshis in Oakland, CA. Anyway, get it when it comes out...should be 5/26. In the meantime, enjoy this: Carla Bley & Steve Swallow --Jonathan Herrera
