Summary of This Book
Chuck Sher / Oscar Stagnaro present a comprehensive guide aimed at bassists who want to master the rhythmic language and articulation specific to the great Latin American traditions. The goal is clear: to learn how to accompany and build credible bass lines in Afro-Cuban, Brazilian, Caribbean, Latin Jazz, and South American contexts, closely adhering to stylistic codes (placement, feel, phrasing, role within the rhythm section).
The content is based on highly educational material: exercises played and transcribed by Oscar Stagnaro, spanning over 250 pages, allowing precise work on timing and vocabulary. To enhance the effectiveness of practice, the book includes 3 Play-Along CDs : each exercise can be practiced with accompaniment, within authentic grooves performed by renowned musicians, including Oscar Stagnaro (bass), Rebeca Mauleón (piano), Orestes Vilato (percussion), Dario Eskenazi (piano), Mark Walker (drums). An excellent choice for developing a solid, musical, and "in-style" bass, whether for stage, jams, or studio work.
