Steve Swallow

Musician

American jazz bassist and composer, noted for moving from double bass to electric bass and for collaborations with Paul Bley, Carla Bley and Dave Liebman. Composer of tunes such as "Falling Grace" and leader of the album Home.

Born October 4, 1940. Longtime musical and personal partner: Carla Bley.

A highly positive, erudite review presents Steve Swallow as a refined, intellectual innovator of the electric bass, contrasting him with Jaco Pastorius. The review praises his compositional gifts (e.g. "Falling Grace") and the 1980 album Home featuring Dave Liebman and Sheila Jordan. Recommended for connoisseurs and attentive listeners.

For:jazz enthusiasts, bass players, and discerning listeners

 Bassist, composer, producer, and a refined intellectual, Steve Swallow can be considered in many ways as the exact (and necessary) antithesis to the most celebrated electric bass champion of all time: Jaco Pastorius.
