Happy Birthday to the legendary Rufus Reid! You've gracefully walked bass lines behind jazz titans like Dexter Gordon, Stan Getz, and Eddie Harris—never missing a beat or losing your mellow groove. Decades ago you penned "The Evolving Bassist," simultaneously becoming every aspiring bassist's best friend—and worst nightmare when they realized how much practice was required!Through years of sublime rhythms and masterful teaching, you've proven that while some people age in numbers alone—you've aged beautifully in quarter notes. May your birthday swing harder than ever today—as timeless as one of your solos but sweeter than any encore performance!
