In contrast to the frequently used percussive playing of the double bass in the era of Chicago jazz , which George Brunies had imported from New Orleans in 1924 and which was used by Wellman Braud , Arnold Loyacano , Ed Garland and Chink Martin , bassists such as Jim Lanigan , Pat Pattison and Earl Murphy use string bass instead.
