James Jamerson changed the way hit records sound. His jazz-inflected, endlessly inventive bass playing added a whole new level of sophistication to pop records. Plus, he brought the serious funk. In this premiere episode of "Breaking It Down," pro musicians John Montagna and Jeff Ganz (both bass players, not incidentally) get deep inside the style, technique and approach of a man whose influence is as strong today as ever.
