Summary: Things you need to know to have Ray's TECHNICAL ABILITY
Comment: If you want to have Ray's TECHNICAL ABILITY (not his musical concepts), this book surely have the content of what you need to know to be one. But if you're a beginner (which at this time needs full guidance in almost everything), then maybe this book isn't yet for you (except, if someone more experienced could help you out). Almost from the beginning we were forced to find out fingerings on your own (and this is good, if you already have enough experience with the instrument). So, if you don't have enough experience, you need another book that gives you full guidance in every material taught, for example: Lew Berryman's 'Intonation Plus'.
Another problem - there's some mistakes in the books. Either some wrongly written notes, and some wrongly written content. P 29 have exactly the same content with p 31, but the titles were different. These things could led to confusion.

Summary: An excercise book with the emphasis on Jazz
Comment: This isn't really a method book; the subtitle, "Essential Scales, Patterns and Excercises" describes it better. As an adjunct to other study material it's useful, but as a jazz method it's a bit lacking. There's no discussion whatsoever, and nothing that really connects to the style of Ray Brown. For that matter, much of the material recapitulates excercices found in Simandl and other bass methods.
Bass players looking to develop some jazz chops should look at Bob Magnusson's "The Art of Walking Bass", Ron Carter's "Building Jazz Bass Lines" and Ed Friedland's "Building Walking Bass Lines", among others. The Ray Brown book might serve as a collection of etudes to practice along with these books.

Summary: Review Of Ray Brown's Bass Method
Comment: Ray Brown presents his foundation for playing in this book. It is a study on finger positions, scales, and chords. It is an Etude book with an edge. Most exercises are presented in an easy to understand manner, that should help any Jazz Bass player " be mo, like Ray!"
