Biography
Reginald “Reggie” Workman (born June 26, 1937 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is an American avant-garde jazz and hard bop double bassist. He was a member of jazz groups led by Gigi Gryce, Roy Haynes and Red Garland. In 1961, Workman joined the John Coltrane Quartet, replacing Steve Davis. He was present for the saxophonist’s legendary Live at the Village Vanguard sessions, and also appeared with a second bassist (Art Davis) on the 1961 album, Ole Coltrane.
After a European tour, Workman left Coltrane’s group at the end of the year. Workman also played with James Moody, Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers, Yusef Lateef, Herbie Mann and Thelonious Monk. He has recorded with Archie Shepp and Lee Morgan. He is currently a professor at The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music in New York City.
