Double Bass Looking for some good 'ol classic jazz sheet music

[bubleeshaark]

Fairly self explanatory. I want it on double bass. I don't want funk styled music. Rather, I want music more like Paul Chambers, etc.

Any recommendations?

You should check out "The Improvisor's Bass Method". There are some transcribed basslines in the back, including some Paul Chambers stuff. You can try to learn them and play them exactly as written, but that wouldn't be jazz. If you're going to buy the book, get your money's worth and go through the rest of the book and use the transcribed basslines as inspiration.

"The Evolving Bassist" has fun lines to read that are sort of themed and graded.

"The Music of Paul Chambers" by Jim Stinnett
"The Music of Oscar Pettiford" by Volker Nahrmann
"The Bass Tradition" by Todd Coolman
the three of these should be a good start...
