The Latin Bass Book: A Practical Guide (Book & 3 CDs)
Book and CD Package (Sher Music 53400), Released 2001;
Editor's Pick:
By far the most detailed and thorough Latin bass instructional we have seen. A must-have if you are, or would like to be, a bass player with Latin chops. Click on the title for details of the contents. (BP, 2001-02-13)
Description:
The role of the bass in Latin music is primarily to hold down the rhythmic and harmonic foundation of the tune. To the casual listener there is certainly a lot of repetition in most Latin bass lines. But if you listen closely you'll usually find a myriad of subtle variations that give the music an extra kick with without destroying the underlying groove. This book will show you how that is done.
