It may be my imagination,
but in the video for "Pack Up", the double-bassist in her band looks a lot like Charles Mingus (a well-known jazz bassist active between the 50s and the 70s). I'm fairly sure this is not a coincidence.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was... her parents are both musicians and have a lot of friends like that.
so maybe she asked him for help with her music.

Aye, his music might well have been influential.
Though as he died in 1979 it definitely wasn't the man himself.

I would have no idea when people in the music industry died. :P
If you say he did then it must be a lookalike.
