The bass in jazz

[Jazzrook]

There's a fascinating 22-page feature on the bass in music in the current WIRE magazine(JULY 2012).
One album they should have mentioned is Barre Phillips' 'Camouflage'(VICTO cd 08) - an astonishing solo acoustic bass performance recorded live at Vancouver's Western Front in 1989 and totally gripping for all its 55 minutes.
Can boredees recommend any other great jazz bass albums(solo or otherwise)?

[Byas'd Opinion]

Were the Ellington/Blanton sides the first ones to really make a feature of the bass? There's a handful of duets by them, plus some great stuff with Blanton playing with the full Duke Ellington orchestra, for instance "Jack the Bear": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJafglIOymw

Coming more up to date, there are a couple of albums featuring Arild Andersen in a solo horn / bass / drums trio format which I think are excellent: his own "Live at Belleville" with Tommy Smith and Paolo Vinaccia, and Albert Mangelsdorff's "Triplicity" (with Pierre Favre on drums).
