The Jazz Bass Technique Series is an educational resource for jazz bassists created by Chris Fitzgerald, associate professor of jazz bass, jazz piano, and music theory at the University of Louisville School of Music. The purpose of the series is to reach as many aspiring bassists as possible with information which will hopefully enable them to become better bassists and musicians. The videos are free of advertising and are intended as a form of worldwide educational outreach. Begun in July of 2012 with the support of the University of Louisville department of Jazz Studies, the plan for the series is to create a minimum of four new high definition educational videos per year on topics ranging from basic technique issues to more advanced conceptual and theoretical topics. The longer videos in the series, intended to put concepts into a greater context, are indexed to help facilitate finding specific smaller topics within the greater length of the videos.
