Hija de padres músicos, Carol Kaye comenzó su carrera como guitarrista profesional y educadora en 1949 . En 1957 se trasladó a Hollywood para comenzar su carrera como músico de sesión en una grabación de músico de Sam Cooke. Carol permanecería cinco años en esa ciudad como guitarrista, hasta que, en 1963, fue llamada por Capitol Records a una sesión de grabación donde había fallado el bajista. Carol utilizó el Fender Precision del estudio, y en ese momento comenzó su imparable carrera como bajista, tocando no sólo en la grabación de discos, sino también grabando bandas sonoras para televisión y cine y cuñas publicitarias.
Desde ese momento, Carol trabajó para productores y compositores como Quincy Jones, Dave Grusin, John Williams, Ray Charles, y un gran etc.
Grabó discos con The Beach Boys, The Doors, Joe Cocker, Frank Zappa, ETC !!!, en Bandas sonoras de películas y series como Las calles de San Francisco, Misión Imposible , Kojak, El crucero del amor, El show de Bill Cosby, y bueno, muuuchos más. O sea, literalmente, en MILES de grabaciones, bandas sonoras , etc.

A special chapter and mention deserves woman, pioneer in the bassguitar, named Carol Kaye. Daughter of musician parents, Carol Kaye began her career as a professional guitarist and teacher in 1949. In 1957 she moved to Hollywood to begin her career as a session musician in a recording by the musician Sam Cooke. Carol worked five years in that city as a guitarist, until, in 1963, she was called by Capitol Records to a recording session where the bassist was a no-show. Carol used the Fender Precision bass owned by the studio and so began her unstoppable career as a bassist, playing not only to record albums, but also recording soundtracks for film and television commercials.
Since then, Carol worked for producers and composers such as Quincy Jones, Dave Grusin, John Williams, Ray Charles, and a large etc.
She recorded albums with The Beach Boys, The Doors, Joe Cocker, Frank Zappa, ETC! In soundtracks of films and series such as The Streets of San Francisco, Mission Impossible, Kojak, The Love Boat, The Cosby Show , and well, so many more. I mean, literally thousands of recordings, soundtracks, etc..
Once I sent her an email and she answered, she was very friendly and close, really a master of masters!
She has published many Method books, I was lucky to study with some of them:
sin duda una gran mujer,una gran bajista..
