The only book and CD set of its kind for bassists! The actual great Professional Jazz Phrases, with fingerings indicated, on CD as well that gives the bass player the right tools to learn how to use these unique great phrases for real jazz improv, via chord changes, chord substitutes, etc. It also helps with walking note choices too. Today, there's hardly anyone who is still teaching that comes from playing in the highly-creative jazz improv era of playing in the 1950s with the finest jazz vip musicians (in LA area), but Carol Kaye is still teaching this successfully to bassists who realize that jazz improv is NOT from note-scales, but from the chordal-sub patterns on the Standards chord changes...that's how everyone put it together back then, pianists, sax players, trumpets, guitarists, everyone did chordal patterns. But everyone got a great chordal background from their teachers then too. It's rare to find someone who knows how to teach this, but little by little the younger generations are learning. This book and CD set gives you the actual patterns that will develop your ear/fingers automatic connections for the ii-V7 chords, the backcycle aug's for the minors, the unknown b5 patterns, when to use them, how to repeat phrases in different places for major-to-minor - all the parallel 4th dim. chords for dominants, etc. It's easy to understand, note-reading is easy but the CD can help the most too. You'll need this book and CD set for the next set you'll buy: Jazz Improv For Bass book and CD. And...you'll hear these hip patterns played by the hottest jazz musicians on recordings from 1950s to today. Don't play note-scales, jazz didn't come from note-scales at all, but from chordal patterns. These are those patterns, no-one else has these. Comes with Theory chart, other music practice sheets, triad stacking etc., carefully packaged and shipped immediately. {lenty of stock. Time to open your ears and easily learn the real stuff!
