finetune artist: Charlie Haden

With the exception of Charles Mingus, Charlie Haden is perhaps the most important post-bop jazz bassist. His work with Ornette Coleman's original groundbreaking quartet helped establish the blueprint for free jazz, a blueprint that Haden himself augmented with his own Liberation Music Orchestra. Haden is as well known for his collaborations and work as a sideman--with Hampton Hawes, Pat Metheny, and Michael Brecker, among others--as he is for his own projects, and has been an inspiration for a host of diverse bass players in various genres. He is also the father of Petra, Tanya, Rachel, and Josh Haden, four talented musicians in their own right.
