John Patitucci – Bass

This is a great fun chart to read. Mostly swinging quarter notes, there are some interesting unison passages and a great bass solo to keep you interested. The solo is written down an octave to give you a chance but there are a couple of open strings (D and G) in there so watch for those. Otherwise, it’s a blast.

This is the complete John Patitucci bass performance on the tune ‘Cool’ from the 1997 Dave Grusin recording, ‘West Side Story’.
