WILD CARD
SAM JONES & CO.
Down Home (1962)
Israel Crosby was in serious demand at this point in the final years of his career, and appears here on three of the eight tracks from his fellow double bassist Jones. The bandleader also contributes cello to several songs, such as the seven-minute ‘Falling In Love With Love’, on which Crosby’s walking bass forms an ever-shifting anchor to the guitar-like solo contributed by the leader.
