This book is an excellent biography of the late and great bass player James Jamerson.

It includes sheet music for his most famous bass riffs which most of you will recognize. (ie. What's Going On, My Guy, Ain't Too Proud To Beg, Heard It Through The Grapevine - just to name a few!) My personal beef with the book is that it has no tab (but it did help me to get off my lazy butt and try to learn how to read the sheet music.)

The best part is that the book includes two CD's with all star bass player interpretations of his bass lines and a short tribute by each person saying how Jamerson inspired them. (John Entwistle, Marcus Miller, Paul McCartney, Marcus Miller, Geddy Lee, Jack Bruce, Francis Rocco Prestia - just to name a few!) This is an excellent book. Buy it. And if you haven't seen the movie with the same title, I suggest you do so.

This book is one of the greatest books that I've ever read about music. It tells you about life of legendary bassist James Jamerson and it also contains a lot of transcriptions of his incredible basslines! I really recommend you to buy this book
