The bass serves multiple purposes in Jazz Music, depending on the situation. The most predominant role that bass will always serve is the bridge between the melody and the rhythm of the song, but in jazz it also serves to outline the chord changes in the music sometimes even walking around chord changes to emphasis the unique voicings of specific chords and not just the root tones, but even can serve as the focal melodic point thanks to bassist like Jaco Pistorious, Marcus Miller, John Patitucci, etc.
