Sight Reading Book recommendations

[IamGroot]

Dr. Licks book on James Jamerson "Standing in the Shadow of Motown" is an excellent text for the advanced reader who needs a work out in reading syncopated 16ths (and keys of Cb and Gb). A lot of Stevie Wonder stuff is also in the extreme flat (Gb. Cb).

I am more into real music, so I would grab a bass anthology book.

Bach Violin Partitas if you want to be a mofo in treble clef.

Edit: I think the triplets in the early measures are actually 32nds rather than 16ths. Can somebody confirm that

Good reading material:

Latin Bass Book
Standing In The Shadows Of Motown
60 Melodic Etudes - John Patitucci
Sitting In With The Big Band Vol 1 & 2
Ultimate Play Along Vol 1 & 2 - John Patitucci
Ultimate Play Along Bass Trax - Billy Cobham
In Session with the Dave Weckl Band Bass - Dave Weckl
Jeff Berlin Bass Education Packages
Any book of etudes written for bass clef instruments. Double Bass, Cello, Trombone, Bassoon etc
Any orchestral part of the aforementioned bass clef instruments
Charlie Parker Omnibook
Any music theatre pad for bass

That's just bass clef. If you know treble then you've got an even wider world at your finger tips.
