	Oscar Pettiford - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Born on an Indian reservation in Okmulgee, Oklahoma on September 30, 1922, Pettiford's mother was Choctaw and his father was half Cherokee and half African American.
		Pettiford is considered the pioneer of the cello as a solo instrument in jazz music.
		Tuning it in fourths, like a double bass, but one octave higher, Pettiford found it possible to perform during his rehabilitation (during which time his arm was in a sling) and made his first recordings with the instrument in 1950.

		Arguably the first bassist to successfully adapt the cello to jazz-based improvisation Pettiford is in top form throughout the eleven tracks collected on the disc.
		Pettiford consistently vouches for his pizzicato command of the lighter bodied cello while Mingus maintains a steady pulse underneath.
		The fidelity is a little rougher with some surface noise and the rhythm section further back in the mix, but Pettiford’s speedy plucks are always audible laying down a firm anchor for the group.

		Pettiford was a giant in the 1950s, but with an estimated 3,000 albums under his belt, there's no bassist more recorded, or held in higher regard, than Ron Carter.
		Pettiford wasn't only a giant of the 50's--he was a giant of the bass--period.
		Many jazz bassists consider Pettiford the supreme musician--polished in every single way--many of us still consider him the greatest that the instrument has yet to produce--the Art Tatum of bass, if you may. That Ron did this album is a lifelong dream come true for many jazz bassists.

		The Pettifords that you are talking about are related to Terry Upton Pettiford.
		She still lives in Minneapolis and her brother Earl Pettiford works for the housing authority in Minneaplois and I believe he is listed.
		Also there was another set of Pettifords in Minneaplois that are decedants of David and Amanda Pettiford of Ohio.
