ENDORSEMENTS
BENNY RIETVELD (bassist with Miles Davis, Santana, etc.)
"As with all of Sher Music's books, 'The Latin Bass Book' is a well-done and concise breakdown of the fundamentals of this wonderful idiom. It's written clearly enough for even the most beginning players; but even if you think you already 'know' Latin bass playing, this book is for you! Trust me, you'll learn plenty!"
DOWN BEAT MAGAZINE
"An indispensable learning and practice tool. This book acts as a personal master class with Stagnaro. Part of the joy of this book is just to engulf yourself in the sound and rhythmic feel of Stagnaro's bass lines on the CDs. They are tight and solid, and really open up creative ways of playing a bass part throughout an endless array of Latin and related music styles. This book is so full of great ideas and helfpul hints that bassists looking to learn about the intricacies of playing Latin jazz can't go wrong."
PAQUITO D'RIVERA (saxopohonist)
"My extraordinary long-time bassist, Oscar Stagnaro, is one of the most intelligent, classy, dedicated and versatile musicians I have ever worked with. All of his valuable knowledge, a product of years of research and 'on the road' experience, is generously reflected in this book."
DESCARGA MAGAZINE
"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."
LATIN BEAT MAGAZINE
"One of the most comprehensive studies published on Afro-Caribbean and Brazilian styles of bass playing. This book is a must for any serious student of the bass."
YORON ISRAEL (Assistant chair of Percussion at Berklee College of Music)
"This is a very well-written book As a drummer and percussionist, it has given me a wealth of information regarding these Latin styles. My students and I have especially enjoyed the excellent play-along CDs which feature a host of great players. I highly recommend this 'practical guide' to all instrumentalists, particularly rhythm section players."
ED SHAUGNESSY (drummer with Doc Severinson Band)
"The Latin Bass Book is the finest work, in a practical approach, yet written. As a busy rhythm section clinician, I am thrilled to use and demonstrate this much-needed and complete text. Congratulations to Oscar and Chuck." |

This is an authoritative work with 3 CD's that covers ALL the Latin, AfroCuban, and Carribbean styles. The bass is recorded on a separate track so you drop it out to practice. Great bass lines. This book was my bible when I was wanted to add authentic salsa lines to the Latin Jazz I was already playing. Plan to spend a few months on this book, but you will come out a monster player.

This book is the authority on latin bass playing. There's more content in this book then what you get in about 10 other bass books. There's page after page of great latin bass lines for study. The CDs are great too...recorded with real instruments on the non-bass track, instead of cheesy sounding electric ones like in many other books. The percussion section smokes, I can listen to this CD on it's own it's so good. There's no tab here so you gotta be able to read. If that's not enough the book contains page upon page of Brazilian and Carribean bass lines after the latin sections. All bass books should be this good and this complete. This is the most complete, and useful bass book I've ever bought. |
