MELODY AND HARMONY

The walking Bass and the Solo are two phenomenon that a bassplayer often is confronted with.
They are both ways of playing improvised; the first one accompanying. the second leading.
I'd like to deal with them if though they are one and the same thing coming from the same source : the ability to create a melodic line.
    what is a melodic line?
    In the first place it's a collection of notes in a row: notes from a specific scale, from a chord, or even chromatic notes.
