Playing Keyboard Bass Lines Left-Hand Technique for Keyboards (Piano Method) [Paperback] Review

I got this book hoping for some good "base line" advice. Well, I have to admit this book was a lot more complex than I thought a book on this topic would be. Usually, jazz theory books have maybe a page or twodedicated to base lines. Well, this book is about 100 pages dedicated toall kinds of drills for base lines, mostly the II-V-I progression.Basically it's filling in base notes in between chords, using chordal ornon-chordal notes, in different time sequences. The CD runs through all ofthe drills, which are mostly minor permutations of the last one played. Iwas kind of hoping for a little more advice on how to construct good baselines if you're using other types of progressions. And also maybe somethingon how baselines relate to chords, pedal point, slash chords, or non-tonalpolychordism. Then again this is just a book on base line playing, so Iwon't be hard on this book because this stuff is obviously verychallenging, and it requires a lot of practice, so this author decided thatthis is the only way to go with it. Get it if you're into to base lineplaying for old standards.
