Each arrangement has two CD tracks:

1) Demonstration track. The bass part is in the mix. Listen to how your part
is played by professional musicians to copy the style, rhythm, attack,
phrasing, articulation, feel, style, and rhythm section blend.
2) Play-Along track. Your part has been taken out of the mix. You playalong with the big band.
3) See page 24 for Performance Notes.
4) There is a two-measure count-off click at the beginning of each playalong track.

PERFORMANCE NOTES FOR BASS

Playing bass in a big band is challenging but very enjoyable. Here are a few tips for playing bass in a big band:
Practice with a metronome. The bass player should establish a solid time feel and
rhythmic groove for the entire jazz ensemble. Be the rhythmic rock!
The bass and drums must work especially dose. In rehearsal, position your bass and
music stand so you can clearly see the director and clearly see and hear the drummer.
Slash marks indicate to create a bass line or to continue in the same style.
Become skilled reading written notes, chord changes, and constructing bass lines.
Creating bass lines is a unique skill for a jazz bass player. A bass line consists of scales
and arpeggios, chromatics, non-chord tones, and chord inversions. If in doubt, play
the notes in the chord or scale with the root on beat 1. Listen to the demo track for
examples.
Typically, when playing a variety of big band music bass parts, the music may specify
either electric bass or acoustic bass. If you play only one instrument, then learn to adjust the tone of the bass, the amplifier and your technique to sound realistic. Listen
extensively to examples of acoustic and electric basses for reference.
To approximate an electric bass sound with an acoustic bass, begin by setting the
tone controis on the amplifier to the mid-point and then adjust gradually as needed.
The same is true for an electric bass to approximate an acoustic bass. It won't be
ideal, but strive for a realistic sound.
Generally in a big band chart, written out parts with no chord symbols indicate the
part to be played as written. When there is only chord changes and/or slashes, then
create a bass line based on the style of the arrangement.
An important factor in a walking bass lines is note length. In general, try to make
the notes played long and legato. Avoid making a space between the notes because
this creates a very thumping, disjointed sound.
There is a two-measure count-off click at the beginning of each play-along track

Vehicle:

1) A rock style chart, this one will sound best with an electric bass sound. Dig in and play more
aggressively than usuai and strive for a brighter sound, but don't overdo the volume.
2) Take a look at the rhythms in this chart. Some appear complex but will become comfortable
with repetition. Strive for extra clean technique to give a pointed attack to the notes. Listen
to the demonstration track.
3) Measure 65 is a rubato trombone solo. In 66, the drumset plays a fili in-tempo to bring you
in for the last two measures.

Sax t o t h e M a x :

1) This chart calls for a swing groove and preferably an acoustic bass sound. Play the quarter
notes smoothlyavoid a space between notes and a thumping sound.
2) Swing this bass part. Drive the tempo but don't rushlock in with the drummer's ride cymbal.

N u t c r a c k e r Rock:

1) Although this is a rock style chart, either electric or acoustic bass will sound fine.
2) The marcato or rooftop accent ( ) is played detached but not staccato.
A

Fiesta L a t i n a :

1) This chart will work with electric or acoustic but if you have a choice, go with electric.
2) Accurate time is super criticai in a Latin chart and usually is dependent on the bass part.
Always practice with a metronome.
3) At measure 49, listen and match the articulation with the other instruments.
4) The repetition is what builds the intensity of the Latin groovestay focused and maintain
energy throughout.

N o w What:

1) An acoustic bass sound is best on this chart.

2) The introduction requires the specif ic written part then swing at measure 26.
3) Vary the bass line if desired, but keep it logicai and musical.

Goodbye M y Heart:

1) An acoustic bass sound will sound best on this arrangement.

2) Playing a ballad is more diff icult than it looks. Because the tempo is slow, there is more time
or space between notes and therefore more opportunity for mistakes when establishing
solid time. Think in doubl time (eighth notes) as an underlying pulse to help you lock in
the ballad time.
3) Play this chart with sensitivit

Two a n d a Half M e n :

1) An acoustic sound is best for this chart.

2) Beginning in measure 5, the "and" of beat 4 is played short for this repeated lick. The tied
note is not actually played. This is common notation in jazz music.
3) At measure 17, the bass feel is in two. This means although there are 4 beats to the measure, the feel is with only 2 beats per measure (beats 1 and 3).
4) Measure 45 begins a traditional quarter note swing bass linedrive it.

B u r r i t o s t o Go:

1) An electric bass sound is preferred.

2) Play the opening lick with the same articulation and phrasing as the piano. Listen!
3) The repetition is what builds the intensity of the groove but stay focused and maintain energy throughout.
4) At measure 41, play this written line in unison with the other instruments. Listen, blend and
match the articulation and phrasing.

Drummin' Man:

1) This is a traditional swing chart therefore an acoustic sound is best.

2) Drive the tempolock in with the drummer. Keep the energy moving forward but don't
rush or push the tempo.

S w i n g i n ' Shanty:

1) This is a traditional swing tune so go for an acoustic sound.

2) At measure 71, play the written part in unison with the trombones. Match the articulation
and phrasing.
3) Play it straight aheadswing it hard and strive for good tone.
4) Learn the notes of the chords and scales in the solo section.

Play T h a t F u n k y M u s i c :

1) Go for an electric soundit's funky.

2) "NC" means no chord. Play the written part in unison with the ensemble.
3) Play the funky line at measure 3 together with the other instruments.
4) Although this chart has chord changes, stick dose to the written part.
