Prouty takes an unremitting approach to the bass. Whether walking, soloing or playing a melody, the bassist pours heart and soul into every note. While one can hear traces of Ray Brown (“Higgins’ Theme”), Scott LaFaro (“Waltzing with Jenny”) and Charlie Haden (“Remembering Section 403”), Prouty demonstrates a voice on the bass that is entirely unique and void of direct imitation. --- www.allaboutjazz.com
