Paul Laurence Dunbar Chambers Jr. (April 22, 1935 – January 4, 1969)[1] was an American jazz double bassist. A fixture of rhythm sections during the 1950s and 1960s, he has become one of the most widely-known jazz bassists of the hard bop era.[2] He was also known for his bowed solos.[3][4] Chambers recorded about a dozen albums as a leader or co-leader, and over 100 more as a sideman, especially as the anchor of trumpeter Miles Davis's "first great quintet" (1955–63) and with pianist Wynton Kelly (1963–68).
