Jazz Upright Bass (DVD) - Featuring Ed Friedland

In this information-packed DVD, bassist Ed Friedland reveals the technical and stylistic details behind professional jazz upright performance. Through live band demonstrations and detailed, step-by-step analysis, Ed shows you how to:

• Develop stylistic left and right-hand techniques for maximum tone and sustain
• Arrange scale and arpeggio patterns for greater range and efficiency whether walking or soloing
• Deal with typical live performance challenges – performance protocol, stock intros, endings, trading fours and more
• Play classic stylistic variations including Latin jazz, up-tempo tunes, the “two-feel,” ballads, 3/4 time
• ...and more.

Ed's practical, direct teaching style offers easy-to-understand explanations and methodical demonstrations of each topic. The accompanying booklet includes notated versions of each example for added clarity.

Not region-specific, should play in all DVD players worldwide.
