FretsOnly.com - THE Internet Resource for Guitarists - Jazz, Classical, Rock, Blues, Fingerstyle... :: Bass Guitar :: Methods :: THE JAZZ BASS BOOK

THE JAZZ BASS BOOK

This book is part player's manual, part historical profile, and part musical portrait. It explores in-depth all facets of jazz bass playing-from the development of 'walking' and other techniques, to the human and musical interaction inside a rhythm section, to the bassists who made their instrument an integral part of America's greatest art form. citing examples from key recordings in the jazz canon, the book defines the essence of the musical contributions made by every important jazz bassist. These achievements are explained both conceptually and technically, helping musicians and fans alike understand the art and craft of jazz bass playing. Bassists get expert guidance on mastering proper technique, practice methods, and improvisation, plus new insight into the theoretical and conceptual aspects of jazz. The companion CD featuring bass plus rhythm section allows readers to hear technical examples from the book, presented in slow and fast versions. It also offers play-along tracks of typical chord progressions.
