Double Bass Half Notes Walking with Rythm Variations

[J_Bass]

Hello guys,

My adventure with the double bass continues and I am now focusing on Walking.

My teacher gave me an exercise to write a Walking line with half notes and include rythm variations. The purpose is to focuse more on the rythm than the notes.

So, I was wondering if anyone could recommend me some tunes where the double bass does this kind of thing.

Something like this:

Thank you for the help!

It Could Happen To You, Relaxin’ with The Miles Davis Quintet. PC plays fantastic two-beat throughout the whole tune.

IIRC, I Could Write A Book from the same record has great two-beat on the head as well.
