"What makes the book outstanding is how it covers both the basics and the more creative aspects of bass playing. Recommended for electric or upright bass players at all levels of musicianship.” — Jazz Educators Journal
"Chuck Sher has put together a book that is informative, readily comprehensible, and highly imaginative. I recommend it for any bassist interested in expanding his awareness in the art of improvising.” — Eddie Gomez, bassist with Bill Evans, Chick Corea, and many others.
"Aimed at helping everyone, from novice to veteran, become more adept at handling either electric or acoustic upright bass... quite informative.” — Guitar Player Magazine
"A very comprehensive study of both the acoustic and electric basses. You are welcome to my endorsement.” — Bob Magnusson, bassist with Joe Farrell, Sarah Vaughan, instructor at the Bass Institute of Technology
"This book is a wonderful contribution to the art of jazz bass playing.”
— Lennie Lasher, bassist with the San Francisco Symphony and jazz recording artist
"The book is great and Chuck Sher is to be congratulated. It is very thorough and gives a great deal of knowledge about both instruments. This is really an excellent theory book and a reference book too.” — Rufus Reid, author of "The Evolving Bassist"
Chuck Sher started as a jazz musician in 1970 and founded Sher Music Co. in 1979 with "The Improvisor's Bass Method." This book received acclaim and paved the way for the '80s "The New Real Book," a legitimate alternative to the earlier illegal version. Sher's company later published hits like "The Jazz Piano Book" and "The Jazz Theory Book" by Mark Levine. With over 100 books in jazz and Latin music, and endorsements from artists like Chick Corea and Esperanza Spalding, Sher Music Co. stands as a top small music publisher. Sher's commitment to quality is rooted in his musician background, aiming to produce accurate and high-quality books.
