[Dixielandjazz] Bass Solos

[Thompson]

Which leads me to ask the question.  Why are bass players given a solo?  Is
it just for their ego?  Or just a way to give the other players a rest?
Seems no one really appreciates them... 

I LOVE the bass line when played with other players.  BUT solo?  Very
seldom.
