the library at the esplanade has a book on his life as well as scores and a cd of his work. i believe its by allan slutsky.
don't expect tabs though.

james jamerson was the sound of motown. he was a genius who crafted all the early motown songs besides bob babbit.
to get a clearer picture you have to buy the dvd s$49.90 or vcd S$9.90 titled -'standing in the shadows of motown' - it actually tells the motown story, the musicians involved and who are still alive today known as the funk brothers, i believe you them backing the american idol finalists last season (4) when the covered motown songs.
you might want to listen to -
'reach out i'll be there' - temptations
'ain't no mountain high enough' - the supremes
'for once in my life' - stevie wonder
these are on many motown compilations dist by universal music - if its your firt intro to jamerson get the compilation cds as he played on 92% of motown stuff.
once you've seen the movie then get the book with the same title.
i recommend you order it from amazon.com as it is now going for a mere US$22.00 thats US$10 off the list price. it also c/w 2 cds that you can play along with you bass guitar, pan to the left to cut out the bass line.

If you ask me....I really FEEL that Jamerson gave birth to funk. The reason why i say this is because. Many many of the bands i like today, probably wouldnt sound (or feel) like this without originators like Jamerson. Best example: RHCP. Sorry...played too much Dani California today....
