Steve Marks. For Double Bass. The Collective Contemporary Styles
Series. Student Book. 72 pages. Published by Carl Fischer. (CO2) ISBN 0825860040. This book with CDs
is about the wonderfully rich music which is derived from the fusion of
the cultures of West-Africa, Europe and the indigenous Indian cultures
of the Caribbean region. This book covers all the essential styles and
explores the special relationship of the bass to the many rhythm
grooves of these drumming traditions. For each
style sample or exercise, the CD contains a performance demo and then a
version without the bass for you to play-along. If you want to be a
well-rounded, well-trained musician, this publication provides the
information and exercises that will give you a strong musical
foundation in these important genres.
