Two Duets
Download of the two newest duets: “Autumn Stays” and “Harlem Journey”. Intermediate level duets based on standard tunes. These two pieces are an excellent introduction to the entire set of duets, featuring lyrical solos and walking bass lines to prepare players for more challenges ahead.Price: $14.99
Bluzin F
Basically a funky blues with some twists. This duet prominently features double stops, blues walking, and two part harmony.Price: $9.99
No Greater Swing
Based on a standard. The melody is played twice, but the “2 feel” bass line is different in each melody. Good solid walking bass lines, and a challenging solo.Price: $9.99
Miley
A study in 3/4 time based on a standard. Extensive interplay between the two parts and solid bass lines in a tune that is lyrical and fun to play.Price: $9.99
Rithum
Based on Rhythm Changes. This duet is made to be played up tempo. Many of the choruses are re-harmonized and at the end it becomes like a fugue. Very demanding!Price: $9.99
Two Colors
This is a ballad that sounds better the slower it is played. The top line can be bowed or plucked. This is a study in phrasing, tone, time, and being lyrical.Price: $9.99
The Thirteenth
A real challenge - the duet is in 13/4 but written as 6/4 and 7/4 to make it more readable. The top line is a technical and rhythmic challenge and the bottom is a study in “holding it down.” A crucial path to learning to play many time signatures.Price: $9.99
Most of the Things
Based on “All The Things You Are,” this duet is a workout for Bass 1. Features a Latin section and plenty of melody.Price: $9.99
Autumn Stays
Intermediate level duet based on a standard tune. This duet is an excellent introduction to the entire set of duets, featuring lyrical solos and walking bass lines to prepare players for more challenges ahead.Price: $9.99
Harlem Journey
Intermediate level duet based on a standard tune. This duet is an excellent introduction to the entire set of duets, featuring lyrical solos and walking bass lines to prepare players for more challenges ahead.Price: $9.99
