5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for upright bass players!, February 2, 2008
Pretty essential stuff here. Amazing how many bass players used the slap technique, and how good they were at it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Bass Player's Dream, March 9, 2007
By John R. Repucci (Concord, MA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Wow! What an excellent historical overview of the string bass-an instrument that doesn't always get the attention it deserves. This anthology is a wonderful resource for my course about the jazz masters of the bass. Bravo!!
