Tommy Bryant

Thomas Bryant (May 21, 1930 – January 3, 1982) was an American jazz double-bassist.

In the late 1940s Bryant joined Elmer Snowden's band, staying there until 1952, when he took a tour of duty during the Korean War.

In 1956 he returned and formed his own trio, though he is better known for his work with musicians such as Jo Jones (1958), Charlie Shavers (1959), Roy Eldridge, Dizzy Gillespie, Barney Wilen, Benny Golson, Big Joe Turner and Coleman Hawkins.

In the last ten years of his life he played in the follow-up band to The Ink Spots.
