5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended Jazz Bass Series,  April 15, 2011
By 
The Jazzer - This review is from: Constructing Walking Jazz Bass Lines, Book 1: Walking Bass Lines- The Blues in 12 Keys Upright Bass and Electric Bass Method (Paperback)
Recommending both Book 1 (The Blues in 12 Keys) and Book 2 (Rhythm Changes in 12 Keys) as a pair for building a firm foundation in learning how to play Jazz bass lines: 

The 12-bar blues and "Rhythm" changes (coming from "I Got Rhythm") are two of the fundamental building-block progressions in Jazz. Together, they form a basis for understanding much of Jazz. These progressions, or portions of them, are used again-and-again throughout the Jazz repertoire. Yet, it is nice that so many variations are given on the basic A-part of the Rhythm Changes progression, since that is the way it really gets played: not just the same lines repeated over-and-over. 

I am particularly pleased that all the examples are completely written-out note-for-note; whereas in many books by other authors, an example will be given in one key with the other keys being left up to the student to figure-out! I always found that to be extremely frustrating. 

Writing-out all the bass lines instead of just the chord symbols lets the student learn the actual melodic motion of bass lines in the way that they are really used. The use of scale-type phrases, chromatic lines, occasional wide interval leaps, and rhythmic variations (such as quarter-note triplets and dotted-eighth/sixteenth notes) ...in full context... really puts it all in proper perspective. It shows how those devices are actually used! That's the stuff people learn-from through specific examples! Then once the student becomes familiar with it all and gets the hang of it, he or she should be able to call on these ideas in increasingly improvisational and hence musical ways. 

The books will be very useful in learning these specifically important Jazz progressions in every key, which practically every Jazz teacher tells me I should do! Many years of Jazz music-theory training gives me enough insight to recognize that the given examples will be very useful tools in gaining a good grasp of the melodic nature of walking bass lines. Additionally, the appearance and lay-out are comfortable to look-at, which makes it all easier to read; and I like the Jazz fonts!

5.0 out of 5 stars An invaluable resource to the aspiring jazz bassist,  January 9, 2011
By 
This review is from: Constructing Walking Jazz Bass Lines, Book 1: Walking Bass Lines- The Blues in 12 Keys Upright Bass and Electric Bass Method (Paperback)
"Constructing Walking Jazz Bass Lines, Book 1, The Blues in 12 Keys: A Comprehensive Guide To Constructing Walking Jazz Bass Lines for the Double Bassist and Electric Jazz Bassist" is a complete 12-key guide to techniques and devices used to construct walking jazz bass lines in the jazz tradition. 

Part I, the Blues in F, presents exercises and techniques known to help create robust jazz bass lines, moving forward while retaining a solid rhythmic, harmonic foundation. Part 2, The Blues in 12 Keys, expands further the lessons of Part 1, providing previous techniques and devices used in professional level bass lines in all 12 keys. The practical and ambitious aim of "Constructing Walking Jazz Bass Lines" is "to give the aspiring bassist a solid grounding in understanding how to construct walking Jazz Bass lines and support a melody and or soloist (p. 97)." The Book concludes with sage advice, "Listen to as much music as you can, Listen to the masters (p.97)." 

Included is full notations with enharmonic chord symbols for more than 150 choruses of jazz blues lines in all 12 keys, using the whole register of the instrument. "Constructing Walking Jazz Bass Lines Book 1" is an invaluable resource to the aspiring jazz bassist, with potential for learning teaching and great practical application. 



5.0 out of 5 stars An Essential Jazz Bassists Book,  October 3, 2010
This review is from: CONSTRUCTING WALKING JAZZ BASS LINES BOOK I WALKING BASS 
LINES: THE BLUES IN 12 KEYS (Paperback)
First of all, the title is a bit of a misnomer. Yes, there are transcriptions of 
Blues in all twelve keys. The transcriptions are 3 to 5 pages each. But what 
the beginning to intermediate bassist will find most usefull are the 33 pages, 
at the beginning of the book, demonstrating the various devices that Jazz 
Bassists use to construct effective bass lines. The Advanced player will 
welcome the books interesting exercises to use for keeping the chops up. 
Steven Moody, the author, guides the reader through exercises including 
Chromatic Approaches, Dominant 7th Chords, Harmonic anticipation, 
Voice leading tones, and Tri-Tone Substitution. Mr. Moody's book gives 
clearly written directions of the various techniques,followed by bass clef 
progressions that detail the examples. All the examples are interesting 
and go beyond the usual straight 4 beats to the bar that unfortunately fill 
up many of the books that I've purchased. I can see that this book will end 
up as dog-eared and ragged as my copy of Simandl, from repeated use.

Book I in the " Constructing Walking Jazz Bass Lines " series  covering the  " MUST KNOW " chord changes for the jazz bassist.

The Jazz Blues progression is an essential part of the Jazz Bassist vocabulary and was practiced in all 12 keys along with " Rhythm Changes "   by the Be Bop players.


The Blues in 12 Keys is a complete guide demonstrating the devices used to construct walking bass lines in the jazz tradition. The book starts out in Part 1 by demonstrating the various techniques used to provide forward motion into the bass lines, while providing

a strong harmonic and rhythmic foundation. 

The exercises are designed to give the electric bassist strong jazz bass lines in the bottom register of the instrument. As an added bonus for the electric bassist Part 1 provides a complete study of the blues in F whilst in the first position. 

This is an excellent technique builder in itself.

Part 2 expands on the lessons and techniques used in Part 1 providing the student with the previous devices used in professional level bass lines in all 12 keys. 


Included is over 150 choruses of jazz blues lines in all 12 keys using the whole register of the instrument.

There are many advanced principles applied in the following bass lines whilst never losing sight of the functioning principle of the bass in the jazz idiom.

 To provide a strong foundation of rhythm and harmony for the music being played & providing support for the melody and or soloist. An additional area of interest for the electric bassist reading tab is the inclusion of the bass clef directly above the Bass Tab. This enables the bassist the option of applying their knowledge of tablature to the task of learning to read music.
