Bass Solos en Clave takes 10 classic Jazz standards, and provides a solo to each, giving an excellent example of a solo played through the changes of that arrangement, applied to a clave rhythm. Written in standard notation and TAB. Audio tracks are in MP3 format. Each MP3 has the Bass on the left channel and accompaniment is on the right, so if you want to play along, just pan it to the right and have no bass. 29 pages.	Our Price: US$14.00 click to see more
