Israel Crosby was an African-American jazz double-bassist born in Chicago, Illinois. His career included work with Gene Ammons, Gene Krupa, Fletcher Henderson, Horace Henderson, Benny Goodman, Raymond Scott, George Shearing, Ahmad Jamal, George Shearing and Teddy Wilson. A close contemporary to Jimmy Blanton, Crosby is less considered as a pioneer, but his interactive playing in Jamal's trio and Shearing's trio shows how easily and fluently he displayed a modern approach to jazz double bass.

With pianist Ahmad Jamal and drummer Vernel Fournier, Crosby formed part of a trio that stayed together from 1957 to 1962, and is considered one of the finest jazz rhythm sections of all time.
