Bassist and composer Charlie Haden started his professional career as a child singing folk and country music with his family.  A tragedy in his life took  him from singing to the bass and ever since he has been making his bass sing.  Hear Haden on Beyond the Missouri Sky, with Pat Metheny, on American Dreams with Michael Brecker and with Melody Gardot on Sophisticated Ladies tonight on the 9 O'clock Special.  Charlie Haden has the most varied body of work of any player.  He embraces the variety of sounds, whether with a jazz orchestra or a duet.  Maybe his start with Ornette Coleman gave him that spirit of adventure.  Hear Charlie Haden tonight on K-Jazz.
