Drop The Needle: BASS - Listening Test - learn these 9 jazz/funk bass player names and get ready for a "drop the needle" test on any of the tracks. Please listen with good speakers/headphones. These are the bass players: RAY BROWN, PAUL CHAMBERS, RON CARTER, JACO PASTORIUS, ESPERANZA SPALDING, JODI PROZNICK, JAMES JAMERSON, BOOTSY COLLINS, CHRISTIAN MCBRIDE

For the test, you will only be able to hear audio (no video will be shown). You only have to name the bass player (you do not have to name the song or other musicians on the tracks). I might start the song in the middle, or towards the end, or at the beginning. Listen closely and find things that make each song distinctive. For example, what instruments do you hear playing overall? What is the tempo?  What is the style? All of these sorts of things will help make this easier to do.
