"Rob is a world class
bassist. He has a comprehensive understanding of the
instrument, a rich sense of creativity and a dynamic performing style. I
have no doubt he will continue to do great things with the instrument." -
Michael Manring
"Rob,
your playing is solid as a rock and what great diversity in your playing
concepts.
It is wonderful to hear such clarity throughout the
instrument and you never let the groove suffer!
You are so facile on the instrument whether laying
down the bottom or soloing.
BRAVO! It was a real treat for me. Thank you" -

“Thanks again for the books -
they're great. I think they are very useful in teaching walking bass, line
construction, etc.
I've already recommended that my
students buy them.”-

"Rob Gourlay has transcribed significant bass
lines recorded by the great bassist, Sam Jones. This book suggests
to the aspiring bassist that “less is more.” Sam Jones’ sound
was infectious and swung like crazy while being the pinnacle solid rock
bass player. Internalizing these lines, the inflections, the
feeling, and the clarity will certainly make any bassist a more desirable
section mate while keeping the name and sound of Sam Jones out there!
