Sign in to disble this ad
I've been struggling in the past few weeks to find a recording or even a bassist that sings along with his solos. I've heard it done like Victor Bailey's version of Continuum/Do you know who and I've also heard Bassists that scat with their solos on youtube. I'm in a jazz improvisation class at my university and I'd like to find a solo that's doubled with bass and voice for a transcription that's due for the final. If anyone can lead me in the right direction, I would be greatly appreciative. Thanks. |

| | | | Richard Bona definitely does it quite a bit and I think I've seen it on Youtube at some point. Just search him and you'll probably find what you're looking for, |

| | | | bird's version of all the things you are, has a really easy quick bass solo at the end of the first chorus with singing along. |

It's an integral part of his style so you should be able to find music/video examples quite easily. Also upright bassist slam Stewart whistled along with his arco solos. |

| | | | Oteil is exactly what I'm looking for. Although I can't tell which songs I would like to do through I tunes since the samples don't get to the solos. If there is anyway someone could suggest a song with a learnable solo that'd be amazing. I've been listening to his stuff that is out on youtube but I don't think that would be a proper media to bring into class... |

I have never heard any of Oteil's music that's he done without other bassists, but if you have the chance to grab something off I-tunes with him on it, I'd suggest:
Bass Extremes - "Dumpcake"
Bass Extremes- "To Serve Man"
Bass Extremes- "Eye of the Beholder"
Those all have some nice Oteil solos on them.. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
