Sketches from a Bassist's Album is an album by American jazz musician Ari Roland.
AllMusic reviewer Ken Dryden gave the album 4.5 stars out of five, stating that "Ari Roland and his musicians are clearly deserving of wider recognition after this outstanding session." A reviewer for Double Bassist magazine noted that "The music onSketches certainly has deep roots in bebop, yet is very different from the over-stylised, retro-bop that many other contemporary groups turn out."[1]
