Rickey Minor (Producer/Bassist)"Great book and CD Tony! Thanks for all the new audio examples on this (25th Anniversary) edition. This book goes from the very basics of slap bass to the unbelievably advanced. I've used it for years for my own playing and for teaching. It has inspired me to improve my groove and time concepts. A must for any funk enthusiast!"
John Kolivas (DonGrusin, Eric Marienthal, Honolulu Jazz Quartet)"I've found this book to be a must for any bass player . . . I was able to improve my recording technique of the "funk" styles. The text of this book is very precise in pinpointing various techniques of this style, not to mention the creativity of the bass lines that can give you endless ideas for your own style."
