  The most influential jazz double bassists from the 1940s and 1950s include bassist Jimmy Blanton; Oscar Pettiford, who is considered by bassists and musicologists to be the first bebop bassist and the transitional link from the swing era to bebop. Ray Brown, known for backing a number of beboppers, including alto virtuoso Charlie Parker; Milt Hinton and George Duvivier who are the two most recorded bassists in jazz history, their respective careers spanning many eras and genres; a singular creative force was Wilbur Ware legendary bassist with Monk and others, hard bop bassist Ron Carter; and Paul Chambers, a member of the Miles Davis Quintet.
