Welcome to The Bass Diaries Norah Jones collection—your home for accurate bass sheet music and tabs from one of the most expressive voices in modern jazz, pop, and soul.
About the Bass Playing
Norah Jones blends jazz, soul, country, and pop into a smooth, intimate sound that has captivated listeners worldwide. Across her most iconic catalogue, bassist Lee Alexander plays a crucial role. His acoustic upright bass lines perfectly support the harmony and enhance the laid-back groove of each track without ever stepping on the vocals.
Why bassists love learning these songs:
- Deep Pockets: Focus on feel, space, and timing over speed.
- Subtlety: Ideal for developing dynamics, touch, and acoustic decay.
- Supportive Playing: Great for learning how the bass anchors vocals and complex jazz harmony.
