Chuck Israels' "Bass Foundations" released!

 I'm a long-time, big Bill Evans devotee. His music touches me in a way no one else's does. So when Chuck Israels sent me the beginning of a bass method book, the lights bulbs went off big-time. I knew that combining Chuck's own wisdom with presenting his improvised bass lines on a bunch of songs he recorded with Bill would give people an invaluable insight into the workings of Bill's trio conception. In addition, it also allows people to play along with the recordings with Bill's changes there. An invaluable combination! I hope all the jazz bassists in the world pick up on this historic publication and have a ball with it. Peace - Chuck Sher
