Description With little existing in the way of study books for the Double Bass, François Rabbath's (b.1931) three volume series, New Technique for the Double Bass is welcomed by all performers of the instrument. Syrian-born Rabbath moved to Paris in 1955 to further his studies on the Double Bass. He soon began composing for the instrument as well as transcribing works of other composers for the instrument. The second volume of New Technique for the Double Bass is a significant contribution to the field of Double Bass pedagogy and covers scales, arpeggios, bowing, among other aspects, and also contains exercises and studies. As a virtuoso player of the instrument himself, frequently performing as a soloist, Rabbath compiles this technical study book with vast knowledge and experience. Being such a prominent double bassist, Rabbath's New Technique for the Double Bass is a well-informed and essential accompaniment to all all Double Bass studies. Moreover, New Technique for the Double Bass contains written instruction in English, French, German and Spanish, making for a highly versatile book.

A first of its kind approach to the learning of double bass incorporating traditional classical studies with practical jazz and popular music applications. Michael Moore who has been at the top of the jazz bass scene since his arrival in New York in the 1960s and pioneer of jazz education Clem DeRosa combine to produce an easy to follow method designed for individual or classroom application.

(Downes Mike)-This is a comprehensive approach to the construction of improvised bass lines. Intended for beginners and professionals alike the book deals with playing in '2' creating walking bass lines 3/4 time using a 'broken feel' modal and slash-chord harmony ballads and much more. Each chapter is full of fundamental and advanced concepts and ideas accompanied by transcribed examples from the masters of jazz bass playing. Mike Downes is currently the head of the bass departement at prestigious Humber College in Toronto. He is much in demand as a clinician and he continues to be one of the most sought after bassists in Canada.

Jazz Play-Along Volume 68-With musician-friendly lead sheets melody cues and other split-track choices on the CD this series makes learning to play jazz easier than ever before! Includes 10 great Charles Mingus songs: Better Get Hit in Your Soul Boogie Stop Shuffle Goodbye Pork Pie Hat Gunslinging Bird Jelly Roll Nostalgia in Times Square Peggy's Blue Skylight Pithecanthropus Erectus Portrait Slippers.

C-Bass Instruments-This CD (including music booklet) has not especially been worked out for the use in musical education. It is on the contrary an audio CD which has been recorded for sale as a trio CD under my name. Mixing the recordings at the studio however gave us the idea to offer this CD Legal Paradizer also as a play along CD. For this reason I have never taken a pedagogic approach to the musical conception of the pieces performed which in my opinion is exactly what makes these recordings so unique. The structure of none of the pieces is for instance as simple as that of the tunes on some other play along CDs. Therefore I have taken the liberty of adding a short explanationand/or comment on every piece meant to make it easier for you to follow the road map of the tunes. Additionally I have explained some stylistic features to help you interprete the individual pieces. Working with my students has shown me how much fun it can be to also offer groove and funk oriented music on a CD to play along. In most of the pieces you do not necessarily have to follow the changes; you should rather develop simple ideas in time. A real strong emphasis is here placed on the term groove.

for String Quartet op. 35a-Josef Suk played second Violin in the Bohemian String Quartet. Since 1914 the ensemble was obliged to perform the Austrian national anthem at the opening of every concert. Suk decided to supplement this obligatory piece with a work inspired by the ancient sacred Bohemian St. Wenceslas hymn. The hymn?s message a plea for the well-being of the Czech people directed at their patron saint was immediately understood by the audience.The Bohemian String Quartet performed this single-movement Meditation for the first time on 27 September 1914; the premiere of the version for string orchestra followed on 22 November 1914 played by the CzechPhilharmonic. That same year the piece was published by Fr. A. Urbánek together with arrangements for Piano and Organ.This first Urtext edition prepared by the Sukscholar Zdenek Nouza is published in two scorings one for string quartet and another for String Orchestra (BA9584). The orchestral version differs in some details and has an added part for Double Bass.First Urtext editionInformative trilingual Foreword (Cz/Eng/Ger) and Critical Commentary (Eng) by the editorTwo versions published in two separate editions
