Rob's April 05 Interview South African Bassplayers Collective - Read

Also Available:

"Rob Gourlay has transcribed significant bass lines recorded by the great bassist, Sam Jones.  This book suggests to the aspiring bassist that “less is more.”  Sam Jones’ sound was infectious and swung like crazy while being the pinnacle solid rock bass player.  Internalizing these lines, the inflections, the feeling, and the clarity will certainly make any bassist a more desirable section mate while keeping the name and sound of  Sam Jones out there! "  - Rufus Reid

   "It is a special day when you  meet someone and immediately you feel
comfortable.  Their humor is warm and their personality disarming.  Then you
learn of this person's tremendous innate talent which is matched by their
dedication and commitment to their goals.  ROB GOURLAY is such a person; an
exceptional musician with a heart of gold."
