Probably not a household name for many, but certainly is in my household...
"Al McKibbon, a bassist who brought a masterly fusion of jazz and Latin music to the George Shearing quintet and other groups in the 1940s and '50s, has died. He was 86."

'And other groups' included..oh, I don't know..Miles, Dizzy, Thelonious, Gil Evans, Ray Charles, Coleman Hawkins, Cal Tjader. Count Basie...folks like that.
