La construction des lignes de contrebasse est abordée de façon détaillée dans cet ouvrage : notes réelles, notes de passage et autres gammes, arpèges, cadences et anatoles y sont analysés pour vous permettre d'élaborer par la suite vos propres walkings. Les modes et les accords enrichis, matériaux essentiels à l'interprétation des walkings, sont aussi abordés de manière très complète. Des tourneries vous sont proposées dans les tonalités principales afin de vous familiariser et de vous apprendre les enchaînements d'accords courants et fréquents dans le jazz. C'est une sorte de dictionnaire des plans de contrebasse, à la fois pratique et didactique. En plus des walkings ou lignes de contrebasse, vous étudierez des rythmes latins et le rôle rythmique de l'instrument, tout en considérant la contrebasse comme une voix à part entière, qui chante dans l'orchestre. Le CD complète l'enseignement, en vous permettant d'entendre les nombreux exemples et autres morceaux, mais aussi de les interpréter sur des playbacks. / Contrebasse
