Rest in peace, Richard Davis.

He was a jazz master and a rhythmic genius of his time, and he lent his inimitable bass stylings to thousands of recording sessions you treasure.

From Miles Davis’ autogiobgraphy, as recounted by the Austin Chronicle:

“His friend [Kenny] Dorham asked if he could sit in. Davis rarely ceded the stage to anyone, but he loved and respected the Texas-born trumpeter, whom he recognized as a peer. In the only anecdote of its kind in the book, the bandleader recalls working over the packed venue before introducing his guest. Dorham swelled in his trademark romantic elegance to the chagrin of the infamously prideful Davis, who quickly realized he was being buried alive.

“In search of solace afterward, Davis asked saxophonist Jackie McLean how he had sounded: "[Jackie] looked me straight in the eye and said, 'Miles, tonight Kenny is playing so beautiful, you sound like an imitation of yourself.'"
