The best book on the upright bass. Learn how the greats played it.
This is probably the most comprehensive book on the upright bass in Jazz ever published. Hard to see it being surpassed. full of advice, examples, history, and discography. I don't even play any bass but I bought it because it's a great Jazz book.
This book is ideal for my husband, who has recently purchased a double bass. He’s an idea of how to play it, but this book is clear for novices who would like to make a tune. He loves the book and practices every day.
