Jazz bass improvisation for the advancing bassist
Hal Leonard Putter Smith: Jazz Bass Improvisation is an English-language tuition book for bassists who want to develop their improvisation further. The focus is on systematic practice techniques, chord and scale studies, arpeggios, and other theory concepts and techniques that connect directly to jazz bass playing.
According to the content, this book is suitable for electric bass, acoustic bass and upright bass. That makes it useful for players who want to work purposefully on vocabulary, understanding and application within jazz.
Book with CD and clear study format
This Hal Leonard edition is written by Putter Smith and published by Musicians Institute Press. You get 40 pages in English in a sheet music and CD format, which is practical when you want to combine study material with listening and playing along.
As an instrumental tutor, Putter Smith: Jazz Bass Improvisation fits well with lessons and self-study. If you want personal advice on study material for bass guitar or double bass, Magna Music can also help you in the shop in Roosendaal.
For jazz lessons and self-study
The book is aimed at the advancing bassist: players who already have a foundation and want to continue specifically with jazz improvisation. Within that approach, chords, scales and arpeggios come together in practical study so you can work on improvisation in a structured way.
This gives you a compact jazz method for bass guitar and double bass, with content that suits lessons, personal study and focused development of jazz language on bass.
