My favorite jazz trio artist is Thomas Foennesbaek, a contemporary Danish bass player and jazz composer. From what I have gleaned, he has Synesthesia, the ability to see music as colors in his mind’s eye in his case. What I find most interesting from his playing is that his melodic voice as a bass player is so strong. Yes, he plays amazing rhythm for the piano player, but you can also hear his voice clearly. And when he solos, it’s as strong as or stronger than the piano work. I would say in a lot of jazz, the bass player is primarily a rhythm player with occasional solos that may or may not be that interesting. Here’s my direct Apple Music playlist or see the text below.
