Scott LaFaro: 15 Solo Transcriptions

Description

Here’s the first book of Scott LaFaro solo transcriptions taken from the Bill Evans trio recordings Sunday at the Village Vanguard and Waltz for Debby. This book contains highly detailed transcriptions of all 15 of Scott’s bass solos, including the alternate takes. Transcribed by Phil Palombi

“Mr. Palombi is to be praised for the superb work he has done in presenting these transcriptions…”
Bassist Marc Johnson

“This book is something every bassist should look over and learn from one of the best bass soloists ever. Not since the Bach cello suites have I found something that is so overwhelmingly challenging and so very musical. These solos are a great tool for bassist to learn how to read like a saxophonist and understand how to stretch out and play on the upper extensions of the harmony. I highly recommend this book!”
Bassist Steve LaSpina

“Well, I sat on the couch last night with my ipod and the LaFaro book, and after listening and reading, I have only one question – what planet are you REALLY from? That’s just an unbelievable accomplishment all the way around.”
Bassist and tenor saxophonist Mike Karn
