CD Reviews

A Bass Player's Dream

John R. Repucci | Concord, MA United States | 03/09/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Wow! What an excellent historical overview of the string bass-an instrument that doesn't always get the attention it deserves. This anthology is a wonderful resource for my course about the jazz masters of the bass. Bravo!!"

A must have for upright bass players!

John P. Sciascia | Waltham, MA | 02/02/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Pretty essential stuff here. Amazing how many bass players used the slap technique, and how good they were at it!"
