He played on more than 2,000 film scores, taped television theme songs (including those for 'Cheers,' 'Frasier' and 'M*A*S*H'), staffed innumerable record albums and live dates and was a sought-after jazz bassist.

The CD's highlight is a super version of Chester Burnett's (aka Howlin' Wolf) Sitting On Top Of The World. With Richie Hayward drumming up a storm, Chuck Domanico plucking slippery upright bass lines and Mahal's trademark National Steel guitar sliding in some very tasty blues licks, the song makes a believer out of anyone who doubted that Mahal might have lost something of his magic the last few years.

I also found myself impressed with the performance of Dottie West and Bill West's 'Here Come My Baby Back Again' for the arpeggiations that Campbell plays under Ford's singing. If Ford seems a bit restrained on the 1964 album, in 1975 he is considerably more relaxed and expansive, in keeping with Campbell's ringing Ovation guitar and bassist Chuck Domanico.

Not knowing the lady's work before hearing this album, I had no special expectations for what it might hold. It ended up being a disappointment. Like most Dave Grusin/Larry Rosen productions, this album is slick enough in its finish and it certainly doesn't lack high-priced help: Stan Getz, Abe Laboriel, Lee Ritenour, Chuck Domanico, Paulinho da Costa and special guest Jose Feliciano.

Call it what you will, it left one of the most indelible impressions of the Eleventh Annual Monterey Jazz Festival this past weekend. [...] Reminiscent of a concerto grosso, Schifrin had a jazz combo set against the larger orchestra, and the essential jazz pulse came from the smaller group. Chuck Domanico must be suingled out for his driving bass lines. He and bassist Bill Plummer produced some impassioned bowing during the Credo.

Though not noted as a powerhouse drummer, Manne is heard here almost in a supportive role as he effectively showcases the talents of saxophonist Lew Tabackin, pianist Mike Wofford and bassist Chuck Domanico. It adds up to mainstream jazz of a very high order.

The Shadow of Your Smile is finally given its most original and sincere rendition! [...] The theme is played very slowly and dramatically by Ortega with complementing arco bass statements by Chuck Domanico. This and the remaining two tracks are just alto and bass duets [...] Domanico is really superb in many respects. Every phrase that he plays is a comment on or an answer to the preceding alto statement. With the absence of both a drummer and a pianist, a great deal of responsibility falls upon the bassist. Domanico carries out his role handsomely ary David; drummer Dick Fisher; and bass players Ray Neapolitan and Chuck Domanico. Slightly reminiscent of Lambert, Hendricks and Ross vocal group, The Sound of Feeling goes far in mixing ultra-modern effects (microtones, atonal counterpoint, unusual rhythms) into the basic jazz idiom. Director Gary Evans' wrting ability and the instrumental and vocal effects are amazing.

One last word about a record that has been sitting among my review pile for a while and nagging at my conscience. It's John Klemmer's Barefoot Ballet (ABC Records ABCD-950, through RCA). Klemmer is a lyrically inventive tenor sax player who features nine original compositions here, including the beautiful title number. His backing group is Dave Grusin (electric and acoustic piano), Chuck Domanico (bass), Larry Carlton (acoustic guitar), Joe Porcaro (percussion), John Guerin (drums) and Bernie Fleischer (bass and alto flutes).

As a soloist, Pasqua was up to the demands of his own tunes, creating beautiful lines in the quietly rendered 'Love's Way' and 'Heartland' and showing powerful bebop roots in 'Miles.' Bassist Domanico was totally effective as an accompanist and generously accomplished as a soloist. His work on 'Miles' was inspired.

ProQuest 280675256. 'All Blues' was a masterpiece of dynamic contrasts, with a long slow fade leading to a great swell and long-held tremolo. John Guerin's sticks-on-cymbals interlude was superb, and Chuck Domanico's bass solo as intriguing as his interaction with Kellaway. The three, who have played together off and on for 20 years, are as close as triplets.

The fourth session, again from 1980, takes a dramatically different route. Partnered with Stitt, the hard-swinging bebop alto saxophonist, Pepper unleashes a more aggressive mode, tossing licks back and forth in a fashion that recalls late-night Central Avenue jam sessions. Two rhythm sections offer support for the dates, which took place during a four-day period: pianist Lou Levy, bassist Chuck Domanico and drummer Burnett on the first; pianist Freeman, drummer Burnett and bassist John Heard on the second. One of the more gripping outings features an intense encounter between Pepper and Stitt on 'Lester Leaps In,' with both playing tenor sax.
