Bass Desires is the debut album by jazz acoustic bassist Marc Johnson, recorded in May 1985 and released on ECM the following year.[1][2] The quartet—featuring guitarists Bill Frisell and John Scofield, and former Weather Report drummer Peter Erskine—would record Johnson's 1987 follow-up as “Marc Johnson's Bass Desires”.

Reception

The AllMusic review by Michael G. Nastos states, "The pairing of electric guitarists Bill Frisell and John Scofield had to be one of the most auspicious since John McLaughlin and Carlos Santana. Acoustic bassist Marc Johnson's stroke of genius in bringing the two together on Bass Desires resulted in a sound that demonstrated both compatibility between the guitarists and the distinctiveness of the two when heard in combination... this debut has stood the test of time—it is priceless, timeless, and still far from being dated."[3] Template:Music ratings
