NPR : Bassist Christian McBride, Plying the Bottom Groove: "Christian McBride, a protégé of the late jazz great Ray Brown, compares playing the bass to being an offensive lineman in football: 'You're kind of not noticed until you're not there.'
But he can't see himself playing anything else.
The acoustic bass is 'probably just the most beautiful-sounding instrument,' the Philadelphian says. 'Just something that low and that resonant, you see this huge instrument and this wood -- this house -- on stage. You feel it more than you hear it.'"
