About the artist

Milt Hinton

Milt Hinton: The legendary double bassist who laid down the grooves that made the jazz world shake and shimmy. With a career spanning over six decades, Milt was more than just a musician - he was a vibe, a force of nature, a bonafide groove machine. Born in Vicksburg, Mississippi in 1910, Milt picked up the bass at a young age and never looked back. He made his mark on the music scene in the 1930s, playing with the likes of Cab Calloway, Lena Horne, and Louis Armstrong. With his impeccable sense of timing and killer instinct for a killer riff, Milt quickly became the go-to guy for any band looking to add that extra touch of swing to their sound. But Milt wasn't just a musician - he was a storyteller, a legend in his own right. His iconic photographs of jazz greats like Count Basie, Billie Holiday, and Dizzy Gillespie are a testament to his keen eye for capturing the magic of a moment. And his infectious enthusiasm for his craft was contagious - you couldn't help but be swept up in the energy of his performances, whether he was laying down a funky bassline or sharing a tale from his days on the road. In a world of flash-in-the-pan artists and disposable hits, Milt Hinton was a breath of fresh air - a true innovator who never stopped pushing the boundaries of what was possible in jazz. His legacy lives on in the hearts of music lovers everywhere, a reminder of the power of passion and the joy of making music that moves the soul. Thank you, Milt, for showing us all how it's done.
