Jokes are often little more than exaggerations of the truth. The old saw about bass solos acting as excuses to talk is funny because it’s enacted at jazz performances every night. Gerald Spaits’ 2016 release Solo Bass is a stupendous demonstration of what gabby people are missing. The sublime artistry the Kansas City bassist exhibits on the 18-minute set shows why he’s a first-call musician for notables including Karrin Allyson and Marilyn Maye.
