We continue our exploration of bands and projects lead by female bass players which have become exponentially more prominent in the past two decades. Here is the fascinating music by musicians that debunk commonly held stereotypes related to the physicality of music, and develop a personal way to syntesize their countless sources of inspiration.

The playlist features Marlene Rosenberg, Esperanza Spalding, Rosa Brunello, Hélène Labarrière, Hasse Poulsen, Donna Khalifé, Linda May Han Oh, Sélène Saint-Aimé, Ellen Andrea Wang, Joy Grifoni, Lisa Mezzacappa, Elise Dabrowski [pictured], Anna Butterss with Makaya McCraven, Anne Mette Iversen, Joelle Leandre, Eric Watson.

Happy listening!
