I came across a great
interview from last fall with the producer of
Astral Weeks. He talks a lot about the bassist on the album,
Richard Davis. I'd heard quite a few of Davis' recordings with
Andrew Hill before I realized that he was the same guy who'd played on
Astral Weeks. He's got an
amazing resume for someone with so little mainstream name recognition, but I guess jazz bass has never really been a ticket to fame and fortune.
