Anthony Jackson – Contrabass Guitar This one came up on my mp3 player which was on shuffle (it always is) and I thought it was relatively easy to get down on virtual paper so here we are. This is the complete Anthony Jackson part for the tune ‘Fantasy’ from the 2012 Hiromi Uehara Trio Project…

Anthony Jackson – Bass I have put this transcription together over the last few days and, whilst I am satisfied with the rhythms, I do not have a bass available so cannot be 100% confident that every note is correct (there are times with AJ performances where the B, C and C# at the bottom…
