"Many years ago in the country south of Melbourne, Australia, I heard a honeyeater sing a song - as one does. The time was memorable because it had a very nice, simple rhythm with very precise musical notes: it was exactly as I put it at the beginning of the first of the four 'From a Bird' pieces and it seemed to ask for a little development.

The only other title which has any meaning is 'Hello Francis', which is a homage to a dear friend and great African musician, Francis Bebey from Cameroon: in this I use one of his favourite rhythms, the makossa.

The remainder of the titles are simply my effort to call the pieces something less boring than just numbers - except of course the Irish tunes, which are all traditional and well known."

John Williams, London, 2008

A walking bass line is the most common approach to jazz bass playing, but it is also used in rock, blues, latin, country and many other types of music. The specific goal of this book is to familiarise players with the techniques used to build walking bass lines and to make them aware of how the process works. Through the use of 90 minutes of recorded rhythm tracks on the accompanying CD, players will have the opportunity to put the new learning directly into action. This book literally gives bassists the tools they need to build their own walking bass lines. The handbook on how to play the banjo. Covers basic right and left hand positions, simple chords, and fundamental clawhammer techniques; the brush, the ‘bumm-titty’ strum, pull-offs and slides.

The book also includes over 40 fun-to-play banjo tunes. Every audible note on ‘Get Together’ is drenched in blues. That’s the base from which these two virtuoso’s set off to explore music between Hawaii, Chicago and Europe, lighting upon swing and fado, and upon blues, gospel, jazz and gypsy music.
