Marc Johnson gained his initial reputation as a member of <a href="spotify:artist:4jXfFzeP66Zy67HM2mvIIF">Bill Evans</a>' last rhythm section and his work with Bass Desires (a group featuring both <a href="spotify:artist:3SONlwqLIP2GtaMh9pLYe5">Bill Frisell</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:14RXohtx6NiBGFTW8IdmAK">John Scofield</a> on guitars) showed off his versatility.
