This book acts as a personal master class with Stagnaro. Part of the joy of this book is just to engulf yourself in the sound and rhythmic feel of Stagnaro's bass lines on the audio downloads. They are tight and solid and really open up creative ways of playing a bass part throughout an endless array of Latin and related music styles. This book is so full of great ideas and helpful hints that bassists looking to learn about the intricacies of playing Latin jazz can't go wrong.” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e— Down Beat Magazine\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePeruvian musician Oscar Stagnaro initially studied at the Conservatory of Music in Lima and worked as a session musician there.
