WOW! To attempt to answer all of the questions you present with any type of clarity would take, well, a BOOK. In fact, my Total Jazz Bass Player book will be available in the coming months. It's a 127 page book that tackles the questions you ask. I’ll let everyone know when it is released. I just recorded the CD that will accompany the book last week and anticipate it will be available by the summer. It is published by Alfred/NGW.

Peace,
Dave
