My Take

I have a soft spot for bassists who anchor a band without chasing the spotlight, and Steve Rodby is exactly that kind of player. His long tenure with the Pat Metheny Group tells me everything: he was the steady low end that let the melodies soar. What fascinates me is that he is also a producer and guitarist, which suggests a musician who thinks about the whole record, not just his own part. From Joliet, Illinois to the heart of modern jazz, Rodby strikes me as the quiet craftsman whose absence you only notice when the foundation suddenly vanishes.
