Paul Chambers

Paul Laurence Dunbar Chambers, Jr. (22. huhtikuuta 1935 – 4. tammikuuta 1969) oli 1950- sekä 60-luvun tärkeimpiä jazzbasisteja. Hän syntyi Pittsburghissa, mutta vietti nuoruutensa Detroitissa. Hän ja Slam Stewart olivat ensimmäisiä jazzbasisteja, jotka soittivat sooloja myös jousella. Vuodesta 1955 aina vuoteen 1963 hän oli Miles Davisin kvintetin jäsen, ja soitti muun muassa kuuluisalla Davisin Kind of Blue-levyllä.
