Standing In The Shadows Of Motown Pdf — James Jamerson
Jamerson used percussive, unpitched notes to keep the rhythm driving forward.
Standing in the Shadows of Motown is responsible for changing the status of session musicians in history. Before this book's publication in 1989 (and the subsequent documentary film in 2002), Jamerson was largely unknown to the public. The book elevated the electric bass from a background rhythm instrument to a lead melodic voice, demonstrating how Jamerson’s counter-melodies drove the Motown sound. james jamerson standing in the shadows of motown pdf
