Rufus Reid's The Evolving Bassist DVD is one of the
most educational bass DVD's on the planet! If you are an
aspiring jazz bass player, at any level, get this DVD
and I promise, you will be a better player by the end of
the DVD!! This DVD works perfectly in tandem with the
book. Even if you are primarily a classical bassist, you
will enjoy the book because bass playing (and music) is
universally the same! Whatever Rufus talks about, can
almost always be immediately used in your respective
discipline area. (While written for the jazz player in
mind, it made me a better orchestra player). He talks
about arm weight and it is truly eye opening. (Get the
movie, then you will know all about his"turning the
key!") Read more about the
Rufus Reid book and DVD here. |
