Remove ads
Melbourne Robert Cranshaw[1] (December 3, 1932 – November 2, 2016)[2] was an American jazz bassist. His career spanned the heyday of Blue Note Records as a house bassist to his later involvement with the Musicians Union. He is perhaps best known for his long association with Sonny Rollins.[3] Cranshaw performed in Rollins's working band on and off for over five decades, starting with a live appearance at the 1959 Playboy jazz festival in Chicago and on record with the 1962 album The Bridge.[4]
Cranshaw died at the age of 83 on November 2, 2016, in Manhattan, New York, from Stage IV cancer.[5]
