Lyrics
A walking bass is a style of bass accompaniment which creates the feeling of movement - like walking. It is common in Baroque music, jazz, and blues.
In Baroque music (think Bach), it is known as basso continuo or figured bass. The bass line was written out, which gave the harpsichordist or organist room for improvisation. Johann Sebastian Bach was one of the greatest musical improvisers of all time.
There is a direct line from Baroque basso continuo to the walking bass of jazz and blues.
Just keep on walking, man!
