When listening to jazz I always listen first to what's going on with the bass. A good bass line holds everything together and makes it all fall into place in the most sensical of ways. Bass players seem to have the most situational awareness in an ensemble.

Also one "rule" you are either intuitively or consciously following most of the time, is that linear/joint movement after a jump go in the opposite direction from the jump! If you jump upward you walk downward and inversely.

outstanding. step together so the baseline is connected and the move together and keep the bass line connected. though remember linear means very very similar incremental in mathematics. exponential is the squared cubed gains mathematical functions get larger from. Example - stairs in a house are linear. Plankton blooming in a lake or ocean are exponential. Cell growth of a growing body are exponential. excellent video dude.

Great tips. Despite being very different from baroque/gallant classical music, these rules for voice leading in jazz bass are still very much the same (e.g. linearity is the best, and if you do large jumps, it should be followed by stepwise motion in the opposite direction). Unless outlining triads lol. Very cool to see these principles applied in a completely different context and still work. It really seems like smooth voice leading is one of the few universalities our ears like in music

i remember a saying that one of the main keys to playing bass is to also just make sure you have the root notes on beat one at least 80% of the time. or really just outlining the chord if you can break it up and use inversions and extensions, cool, but a lot of people only use the bass as to be able to know where they are in the form
