George Morrow

A bassist known for his impeccable time and powerful, grounding presence, George Morrow was the anchor of the legendary Clifford Brown-Max Roach Quintet. His solid, reliable bass lines provided the essential foundation for one of the most important and influential groups in jazz history. He appeared on all of the quintet's classic recordings, including 'Study in Brown' and 'At Basin Street,' making him a key, if often unsung, contributor to the hard bop canon.
