The traditional role of the bass player in a jazz combo is twofold. As a bassist, you are normally responsible for providing a harmonic foundation as well as providing some of the rhythmic pulse. These roles also apply to chordal instruments playing bass lines in the absence of a bassist as well as tuba players or anyone else in the bass role.
This chapter discusses some of the ways to fufill these responsibilities.
