Summary of This Sheet Music
This sheet music compiles 22 double bass solos (notation in bass clef) from various recordings, offering an immersion into the aesthetic of Ron Carter, a key figure in modern jazz. The goal is twofold: play complete solos to develop your vocabulary, and understand the construction of lines (sense of resolutions, choice of target notes, melodic logic) to enrich your own improvisation.
The content covers very different moods and styles: from blues and swing to ballads, including pieces with a Latin flavor and themes borrowed from the classical repertoire. You will find, among others: Bass Blues, Bessie's Blues, Bohemia After Dark, Corcovado, Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy, Embraceable You, Good Bait, Hi Fly, I Can Dream, Can't I?, I Could Write A Book, I Fall In Love Too Easily, I Should Care, I Thought About You, Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring, My Funny Valentine, My Romance, Ouverture Miniature, Que Pasa, Summertime, Sweet Lorraine, Ten Basic Exercises, This Time The Dream's On Me, Toys.
Ideal for double bassists wishing to work on phrasing, time feel, and harmonic coherence, this collection is also well suited for pedagogical use: identifying cadences, isolating motifs, transposition, and reusing cells at different tempos. An excellent foundation to enrich your playing while staying true to an authentic "first-call" musician's language.

For a gift to my double bass friend, a jazz fan... very happy despite a lot of double brackets to read! Too bad there's not a CD with it!
