Bob Cunningham is referred to as a Master Bassist, and is well deserving of that title due to his illustrious career in Music as an Acoustic Bassist โฆanother example of a talented, underrated and underappreciated musician.
Born in Cleveland in 1934, Cunningham ... the consummate bassist and composer whose deep rhythmic sound became sought after by such bandleaders as Gary Bartz, Dizzy Gillespie and Frank Foster, died in New York April 1. He was 83.
The American jazz bassist in the 1990s was a member of The 3Bโs, with Bross Townsend and Bernard Purdie.

Discover a JazzFest, weekend Fish Fry in a restored 1800s Victorian Brownstone building of Brooklynโs Landmarked Historical District, Bedford Stuyvesant.
Experience the enjoyment of the Jazz Concert, and a Southern Fish Fry Buffet that will delight any palette cooked on site in the traditional jazz way.
During the 1930 perhaps even earlier, Harlem was not the only Jazz scene. Brooklyn had one as well. Bedford Stuyvesant had one of the largest Jazz neighborhoods around. Bed Stuy held many venues housing jazz greats like Thelonius Monk, Lena Horn, Randy Weston, Miles Davis, Max Roach, Hank Mobley, Abbey Lincoln, plus others. Paramount Theatre located in Brooklyn among other theaters held major Jazz Concerts. All things eventually changed, and jazz club fizzled out in favor of a different music generation. Uptown and Midtown changed as well.
Debbie McClain, owner of Sankofa Aban Bed and Breakfast looked to revive the jazz scene of the past in Brooklyn when she met her partner, Eric Lemons.
Youโre invited to spend a magical evening of music with Debbie and Eric taking you behind the scenes undercovering some unheard of jazz history with a different experience. You can purchase the right ticket and get there early, meet the performers, before you take a seat for a Jazz Fest of a lifetime. These two host will present you with some of todayโs best entertaining jazz artist. Continuing the history of the neighborhood, a group of jazz locals and broadway greats Blue Note recording artists like James Spaulding, Trombonist/Euphonist Kiane Zawadi, vocalist Keisha St. James, Boncellia Lewis, Greg Bandy and Bobby Sanabria connect over music in a tradition thatโs diminished, but clearly not lost, with a style of life from an earlier time.
