If you want to get your slap groove on then I recommend this along with Anthony Vitti's books as well as listening and transcribing great players such as Marcus Miller and Flea. I like all Anthony's books and this one contains some tasty slap lines. The book contains real grooves and focuses on playing them precisely and with feeling. Something we should always aim for regardless of style.
I got to meet him at Ronnie Scott's and he was a true gent. This book is one of my very favourites and one of a handful I studied when I was getting everything together.
He is an absolutely beautiful player and employs many interesting colours in his playing. This books presents major, harmonic and minor modes as well as diminished and many other exotic scales. There are examples too so you can use them in your own playing. This is written by a legendary jazz player, Tribal Tech's Gary Willis. I don't think it is just me who has a really geeky side when it comes to learning and improving and with tips such as 'Cable Discipline' and 'Steel Wool Trick' this book does not disappoint.
There is some great stuff in here from health and posture tips to gear to practice and memorisation techniques. You can do a whole background jazz gig with one of these even if you don't know any of the tunes.

Victor Wooten's semi-autobiographical work of fiction is a great read and recommended for anyone looking for the more spiritual, deeper side of music. We all know that you need technique, a knowledge of theory etc. However, this book is more of a philosophical look at music and a bigger picture than just music.
It's quite zen and requires you to think a little which is no bad thing! The subtitle of this book sums it up perfectly: it was an extraordinary life and it did end tragically.
Like James Jamerson, Jaco is one of the true legends of the bass. I read this just after my obsessive-Jaco phase when I was 13 and was transfixed by his story. I actually pulled the frets out of my bass at the time after reading this book but that's another story This book is based on the original 'The Inner Game of Tennis' I highly recommend that book too even if you're not into tennis.
The mental side of performance has always fascinated me and it seems to me that musicians should work on this as much as technique or learning tunes. It took me a couple of goes to get through this book as I wasn't ready for it the first time round. But if you are interested in the mental side of performance and practice and I think you should be! Carole Kaye is a session bass titan. She played on thousands of records and TV and film sessions in the 70s and 80s.
She came up through the clubs playing jazz guitar in the 60s. She has so much wisdom, many great stories as well as experience and expertise. I recommend all her books actually. Do check out the film The Wrecking Crew also look at my DVD recommendations if you want to see a fascinating documentary on the LA session crew of the 70s and 80s. Gear For The Reading Musician.
