Is there a jazz-oriented slap bass method that you are aware of? I would prefer book format versus DVD.

Hi,
Sorry, I am not aware of any jazz upright oriented books for slap bass. Hopefully some of the readers will contribute suggestions. If it is for electric bass, jazzer Jim Stinnett has a book called "Slap bass Workout".

Was thinking maybe Slam Stewart transcriptions or??

Here is a link to a Slam Stewart Transcription Book. He was more known for bowing and singing.

Milt Hinton was the jazz slap bass king. Here are a couple of links to Youtubes of Milt
