Kevin's Korner - Low Down Ladies

In the musical world women are not often associated with the double bass or bass guitar.  This week I thought I would highlight some amazing female bass players.
Tal Wilkenfeld is probably best known for playing with Jeff Beck, but has also shared the stage with other notables like Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Macy Gray, and Toto.  With her smooth style and mixture of chording and tasty licks, she left Australia and landed New York at age 18 to make a name for herself.
Esperanza Spalding is an Grammy Award winning solo bassist that draws on many different genres for her own compositions.  She experimented with many instruments growing up but finally landed on the bass in high school.  Not only did she become a phenomenal bassist, she can also sing in 3 languages!
Bridget Kearney is the bassist from the up and coming soul quartet Lake Street Dive.  Being in a band that doesn't have a full time guitarist makes the bass player work over time to fill in the gaps, but Bridget has no problem picking up the slack, all the while providing back up vocals.
