"One of our finest bass educators, Bob Sinicrope has written a clear method for creating and mastering jazz walking bass lines. Using his vast historical knowledge, Bob guides the student through step-by-step practice and discovery methods to create musically and theoretically perfect walking bass lines. I heartily recommend this book for both students and teachers." - John Goldsby, bassist - WDR Big Band

"Bob Sinicrope's Walking Bass Line Construction book is an amazing book for anyone learning to walk jazz bass lines. A very simple but unique approach makes it not only highly educational but also enjoyable." - Victor Wooten, bassist

"I have known Bob Sinicrope for at least 50 years. I have observed how consistent and passionate he is about playing the bass, teaching what the bassist needs to do to be musically successful. His book, Walking Bass Line Construction, is quite thorough and will teach the user to be an excellent bassist/musician/listener!" - Rufus Reid, jazz bassist/composer

"Bob Sinicrope presented this unique and effective teaching approach to creating walking bass lines many times at the Jamey Aebersold Summer Workshop. The ideas presented herein will help bassists create their own functional bass lines. I highly recommend this book." - Lynn Seaton, bassist, recording artist, Fulbright Scholar and Regents Professor at the University of North Texas
