Jazz and Blues Bass Lines: Constructing and Applying Bass Lines

by Bruce E. Arnold

There are many possible ways to construct jazz bass lines. This book explores one of those possible ways in depth. The method is built upon the use of chord tones, approach notes and basic reharmonization techniques. Three forms common to the jazz idiom are used to explore this method; the Blues, Minor Blues and Rhythm Changes.
