About
Jazz bass revolutionary from the Swing Era
Walter Page (1900–1957) was a groundbreaking American double bass player born February 9, 1900 in Gallatin, Missouri, and died December 20, 1957 in New York City. As a founding member of Page’s Blue Devils and later a key collaborator with Count Basie, Page revolutionized the double bass’s role in jazz, shifting it from rhythmic accompaniment to melodic authority. His innovations established modern jazz bass technique.
