TextSeries: Ashgate popular and folk music seriesPublisher: London : Routledge, 2019Description: 236 pages : illustrations (black and white) ; 24 cmContent type: text | still image Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volumeISBN: 9780367231873 (pbk.) :Subject(s): Double bass | Jazz -- History and criticism | Bass guitar | Music and technology | Music | MusicDDC classification: 787.5'165 Summary: This volume traces the stylistic evolution of jazz from the bass player's perspective. Historical works to date have tended to pursue a 'top down' reading, one that emphasises the influence of the treble instruments on the melodic and harmonic trajectory of jazz. It augments that reading by examining the music's development from the bottom up. It re-contextualises the bass and its role in the evolution of jazz (and by extension popular music in general) by situating it alongside emerging music technologies.
