Yes....Orsted Pederson was terrific, with pianist Oscar Peterson trio or duo with guitarist Joe Pass.
Lot of recordings out there with Ron Carter too.

Ray Brown was fantastic. Christian McBride is a great contemporary player - his Conversations with Christian album has duets with various other musicians and some great examples of how to walk unaccompanied.

Worth trying Larry Taylor on the John Mayall album Jazz Blues Fusion; Leo Lyons with Ten Years After - various tracks off the live album Undead; Woman Trouble off the album Stonedhenge.

Anything by Blood Sweat and Tears.

These are all electric bass players but some very inspiring stuff.

Charles Mingus on upright also.

Milt Hinton and Ray Brown.

[The Funk]

Ray Brown

Paul Chambers had lessons off Ray Brown. It shows.
