Jazz Conception Bass - 21 Solo Etudes (book/Audio Online)

Publisher : Advance Music
21 Solo Etudes for Jazz Phrasing, Interpretation and Improvisation
Soloist : Peter Washington
Series: Jim Snidero Jazz Conception Bass

Conception is an exciting way for players at all levels to learn the language of jazz! 21 solo etudes based on chord changes to standards and blues.

See and hear how a well known soloist phrases and articulates and play along with or without the soloist. Play along with one of todays finest, swinging New York rhythm sections: Mike LeDonne on piano, Dennis Irwin on bass, and Kenny Washington on drums.

Start out fairly easy, then get progressively more difficult.
Use the etudes as a bridge to solos of the masters that are usually more complicated and involved.
Learn melodies and lines that will give you a solid jazz vocabulary and musicality.

If you are more advanced you may want to use the book to develop your sight reading abilities, for transcribing the etudes off the recordings (then check against the book) or for just having fun playing along with a great jazz rhythm section.
