floodfish 's review for:
Bass Player Presents: The Funky Bass Book
by Bill Leigh
An amazing stack of interviews. Anyone who cares about soul/R&B/funk bass of the 1960s and 70s ought to love it. And with today's internet, you can listen to any song—even the most obscure—as it's mentioned. It's easy to nitpick on who's included or not, but there's so much greatness here regardless.
Unfortunately, the book is pretty carelessly thrown together. The sections and order feels almost arbitrary. And it would be much improved by including interview dates, some transcriptions, and a better layout. The picture selection is a bit disappointing, too.
