Minor Run-Down by Paul Chambers
Minor Run-Down is a Jazz original composed and recorded by the Paul Chambers Quintet. This song is particularly a bass feature in which the bass plays the melody in the beginning and end while the horns and piano comp behind Chambers.
This piece is actually difficult because Paul Chambers utilizes a wide range when play the bass. He does many "skips" while outlining the chord changes. His ideas as far as soloing and trying to implement them when playing the song is difficult due to the way he approaches notes and phrases.
