The rest had skeleton parts written which I had to "improve" upon to help make the recording feel good. Today's musician is called upon to read more and more and so I felt that this book was necessary for practice. The hit records are all familiar and the parts will be good for sight~ reading practice as well as study in continuity. It would be a good idea to purchase these rec- ords to play along with, The tempo indications are approximate as the band rushes and drags in spots, feel was the ummost important thing. The bass doesn't sound yery distinet on the earlier xecordings as on the later ones, but one can play along with these and benefit by it. Lately, it has been pleasurable to hear so many fine bass players play so tastefully in all of the new great Rock groups. One of which is John Clayton, Ray Brown's protege wio 1 am proud to say, mine also. He assisted me in the music preparation of this book and my heartielt thanks go to him for the arduous work he has done. We both hope you Tike this book and that it will be a challenge and a pleasure to play. Thanks also to Valda Hammick of Australia. Sincerely, Cord Kaye John Clayton, 1972 combo winner of the Carol Kaye Pacific Coast Jazz Festival contest (The John Clayton Trio), Worked with Louis Bellson, Herb Ellis, Craig Hundley, and Monte Alexander.
