Master 'Stella by Starlight' on Double Bass: Solo Arrangement Breakdown

www.zoltansbas...
Hi,
This is a solo bass arrangement I have written over the Jazz standard Stella by Starlight. Works for both double bass and electric bass. There is a performance and a detailed break down of the orchestration, and the ideas between the melody and accompanying lines.
For the sheet music head to the link above, sign up with a free membership if you haven't already done so and enjoy.
PRACTICE TIP: isolate 4 bar sections as per the timecode below and practice them individually. As you get comfortable with adjascent sections, put them together. Ie.: work on bar 1 to 4, then bar 5 to 8, eventually putting them together into Bar 1 to 8. You can work on smaller 2 bar chunks as well.
The Bbmajor7 arpeggio at the end is a study in itself, practicing it will put your ears into the key centre of Bb major.
Good luck and let me know how you get on in the comments below.
Thanks,
Zoltan
