Paul Westwood, lecturer at the Royal Academy of Music, the King's College and the Stowe School, sends the reader with this book (280 pages, 2 accompanying CDs) on a musical adventure, ranging from Jazz towards Soul /R’n’B, Latin riffs to African Music and continues with progressive lines and solo instructions. Westwood describes in great detail the history and feeling of each featured stylistic. The “Bass Bible” (available in German and English) has become THE representative bass music book of the AMA publishing company in a very short amount of time.
