1.Way Down- Jerry Scheff
2.Jaco. The extraordinary and tragic life of Jaco Pastorius.
3.Standing in the shadows of motown. The life and music of legendary bassist James jamerson.

Book Review: Jack Bruce Composing Himself – The Authorized Biography

 

[Bass Growler]

Duff Mckagan wrote 2 great autobios: It's so easy and How to be a man.
David Ellefson wrote My life with Deth, also highly recommended.
Not a bassist, but I am Ozzy by Ozzy Osbourne is hilarious and a must read.
