Summary of This Method
This method gathers the bass lines written by the legendary Ron Carter around the play-along "Vol. 12 Duke Ellington!". Designed for bassists (double bass as well as electric bass) who wish to enrich their jazz vocabulary, it focuses on the essentials: musical lines that are harmonically solid and directly applicable to standards.
You will find lines notated in bass clef, with chords indicated above each measure. This presentation allows you to immediately connect the choice of notes to the harmonic movement, and to understand how a bass line can simultaneously support the tempo, outline the chord progression, and create a true melody in the low register.
Working on classics like "Satin Doll" or "Take The A Train" through Ron Carter's approach means entering the art of walking bass: rhythmic placement, chord changes, target notes, chromaticism, and voice leading. Whether you are preparing for a session, a concert, an audition, or simply your own progress, this book is a valuable resource to study a reference writing style and develop jazz bassist reflexes.
