Charles Edward Haden (born August 6, 1937) is a jazz double bassist, probably best known for his long association with saxophonist Ornette Coleman, Keith Jarrett and Pat Metheny. Haden is also known for his signature lyrical bass lines and is one of the most respected jazz bassists and jazz composers today.
At least three of his children are also musicians: Josh Haden (of Spain), Petra Haden and Rachel Haden.
