Complete with chord shapes, charts explaining what scales work over what chord types, tons of rhythmic exercises, tons of grooves from my newest CD, “So To Speak” and licks… This book is, in essence, my complete methodology for playing my bass.

Just got back from LA where I recorded a trio album with Peter Erskine and Vardan Ovsepian (pno) at Big City Studios. This album is a personal milestone for me. Recorded following a brief South American tour, the album is lush, musical & beautifully recorded, this is the album I’ve always wanted to be a part of.
This recording of this wonderful new trio is to be released on Peter’s “Fuzzy Music” label early in 2011 with dates in Europe soon to follow. Come back and check for news on the official release date. You won’t want to miss this one!!
If you are a bassist and looking for an interesting play-along book, this is it! (or if you just want a book of charts from my newest CD!!). You’ll receive the book and a version of the CD mixed without bass.
Right now, the book is currently available digitally over at my good friends
Enjoy!!
