So, here at last is my Rhythm Changes Study Piece for bassists entitled “Jumping the Gun”. It’s a fast and technically challenging bebop style workout, hence the title, which is based on the classic jazz chord changes often referred to as “Rhythm Changes”. This is in honor of George Gershwin’s tune “I Got Rhythm” which used these changes in a classic 32 bar AABA form. Check it out, I think you’ll have a lot of fun working on it!

“Victory Lap” – my new String X-ing / Open string piece, is available in both Notation AND TAB as a PDF download. It’s a challenging bass melody over Minor Blues which I have to say is somewhat inspired by Victor Bailey (hence the title “Victory Lap”) and his amazing use of wide intervallic ideas in such tunes as Kid Logic!

Here’s an original BeBop Blues bass head and a 36 bar (three choruses) bass solo, using everything from classic bebop vocabulary to Coltrane inspired substitutions and beyond.

Written in full standard bass clef music notation and TAB. Two versions are included, one using “8va” to facilitate ease of reading. Also included is a 9 page written analysis with insights into both the melody and all of the key devices I incorporated in my solo and an MP3 play through of the piece.
