Summary of This Book
This collection brings together 36 iconic solos and bass lines drawn from the language of the greatest jazz double bassists and bassists. Each transcription is designed to be worked on as genuine musical material: sense of melody, chorus construction, swing placement, management of tensions and resolutions, and harmonic logic "over the changes." The repertoire is based on essential standards, making it a particularly effective resource for progressing in walking bass, improvisation, and accompaniment. Whether you are looking for line ideas, stylistic licks, or a better understanding of the bass's role in jazz history, this book deserves a place in every bassist's library.
