		Steve Swallow may not be a household word, at least in most households, but if you've listened to contemporary jazz over the last thirty years, you've likely heard him on one side of the studio glass or the other.

		Steve Swallow: Freddie Greene, the best rhythm guitarist ever and one of the all-time greatest road rats, is said to have responded to a request for advice from an aspiring musician, "Always pack your uniform on top." That's the kind of guy he was, very direct and to-the-point.

	Steve Swallow: Damaged in Transit - PopMatters Music Review
		Swallow's at his best, playing bass in the best tradition of Henry Grimes with Sonny Rolllins, of Milt Hinton with Branford Marsalis and Ben Riley, of Jimmy Garrison in trio with Joe Farrell and Elvin Jones.
		Swallow is, of course, on bass guitar, but I'll not start flicking through trios like the Lovano Motian Frisell one (but have there been many?).
		After a tenor entry, Swallow with Nussbaum's ever beautifully shaded drumming (cymballing!) proceeds in a fugal development, generating a lot of swing the way it happens in Bach properly performed.

	BBC - Jazz Review - Steve Swallow, Damaged In Transit
		Swallow describes the music on this record as resulting from a compositional challenge he'd set himself.
		Swallow's spare, elegant melodies have some of the clarity of Ornette Coleman's or Thelonious Monk's, spiced with plenty of unexpected twists and turns.
		Potter's tenor gobbles up all of Swallow's harmonic implications like Pac Man on steroids; his devotion to Sonny Rollins shines through in his ability to improvise at length and at speed without resorting to recycling ideas, though his ballad playing gives some of his best moments (particularly "Item 3").

		Subject: Steve Swallow's "Real Book" Bassist Steve Swallow has been involved in a lot of cerebral projects, so he probably isn't thought of much for having a sense of humor, but that may change with his latest album on XtraWATT, "Real Book".
		Swallow is an interesting composer and he sets up his band with some meaty tunes to blow on.
		Anyway, Steve's method is a 1-2-3-4 method where 1 is the index finger, 2 is the middle finger, 3 is the ring finger, and 4 goes back to the middle finger.

	Hans Ulrik/Steve Swallow/Jonas Johansen \| Trio (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		At every turn, Swallow demonstrates why he is the premiere electric jazz bassist of the last two decades.
		Johansen's light touch is apropos and especially evident on two Swallow compositions: ”Self Exiting Circuit” and “I Fall Asleep Too Easily.” The latter features a melodic bass opener that descends into a sleepy chordal undulation that allows Ulrik to lull with his sax.
		Swallow takes most of the risks throughout, breathing new life into the classic “After You've Gone” by setting a frantic pace.

	Guardian Unlimited \| Arts critics \| Steve Swallow: Damaged in Transit
		Swallow's band has included guitarist Mick Goodrick in the past but, as a trio, a lot depends on Potter - and he rises to the encouragement here with a tumbling energy to match his depth and sophistication.
		In the spirit of the title, the tracks are given numbers (Item 1 etc) rather than names, but several of them sound pretty close to the insouciant swing, walking-pace Rollins-like calypso, spiky Monkish bop and film-noir blues mix that featured on Swallow's last disc and the quartet version's live shows in 2000.
		Steve Swallow's soft and slinky electric bass sound often links or introduces the pieces with understated musings, and Adam Nussbaum is at his most imperious under the bluesy slither of Item 2.

		Swallow has been recording sine about 1961 so it's kinda tough to focus on ONE album, so I'll break it doiw into some cetgories.
		Steve on upright: Swallow switched to electric bass after seeing Cream at the Fillmore, but his recordings from the early 60s are all on upright.
		Steve plays rock: Nick Mason "Fictitious Sports" (CBS) OK, Mason may be the drummer for Pink Floyd but this is nothing like a Floyd record.

		The relationship with Steve goes back to the late 1960s and my first mentorship with Pete LaRoca and Chick Corea as well as with drummer Bob Moses in the first organized music I was part of, the Open Sky Trio.
		This was when Steve was one of the most working of all acoustic bass players in jazz before switching exclusively to electric, on which he was a trailblazer.
		Personally, Steve is known as a “Prince” among the field being the most courteous and pleasant of people to be around.

	Splendid Magazine reviews Steve Swallow Trio: Damaged in Transit
		In the hands of a drunk guy in a blue tux who has played in one too many lackluster wedding bands, those walking lines can dreadfully boring -- but in the hands of a bassist like Steve Swallow, they can be molded, like sculptor's clay, into all sorts of diverting shapes and gestures.
		Swallow's lines are a study in angular bass virtuosity.
		Swallow's quarter notes are slowed way down and Nussbaum remains in the background for much of the tune's beginning and middle -- he makes up for it with a drum solo later on.

		Steve Swallow's music for the new L'Histoire du Clochard is mostly soft watercolor, ranging from subtle pastels to more complex, light shades, but nothing much stronger.
		Swallow's five-string instrument gives him considerable range, but not much warmth, and at times he sounds more like a guitarist who has lost all but one string.
		Personnel: Steve Swallow: bass; Chad Talmor: tenor saxophone; Russ Johnson: trumpet; Meg Okura: violin; Greg Tardy: clarinet; Jacob Garchik: trombone.

	(e) Steve Swallow - Damaged in transit (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Choice that, with admission of Swallow himself, took place almost casually after an initial refusal of the electric instrument; from that time Swallow is become perhaps the more famous and requested bass player on jazz scene – and not only this one – considering the impressive number of his collaborations.
		Starting form the impetuosity of the first track, announced by Nussbaum’s drumming, we are leaded to discover progressively both the peculiarities of the single musicians, and how these integrate themselves and serve the purpose to offer nearly some variations on a theme.
		A different kind of atmosphere it’s possible breathing in the track 5 which is faced in bop key by Potter and in which Swallow launches himself in a fast game of scales, or in the track 8 where the lyrical optimism of the melody rises from Swallow’s expressive irony.
