Solo jazz/classical bass guitar pieces

[lawetlatla]

(Sorry, I'm not sure where to post this so I"m posting here - if there's a better place could you let me know please?)

Does anyone know any cool bass-only (or with minimal backing, i.e. just percussion or one other instrument) jazz or classical pieces?
I go back to school in less than a week & I have to perform a solo piece for my pre U music class, so because it's a classical based course, I wanted to do something classical or jazzy (as I consider myself to mainly be a jazzer/funker).
Also because I have to learn it by Thursday, something "easier" would be preferred, i.e. no ridiculous tempos or amount of chords haha
Thanks for any suggestions!

Sorry, I forgot to mention it being for bass guitar! I just realised I didn't make it clear enough!

Bach cello pieces. Try Suite no.3 in Cmaj.

I guess there is a chance of offending purists.

Bach, as already suggested one of the cello pieces, or one of his inventions ?

Try my piece 'Calypso Zoom' on my Soundcloud page (below). It's simple but fun.

Easy Peasy.

Another mention for the Bach material.
There are a couple of Bach for bass books available on Amazon. Great music and will give you some great transferable ideas

Look! Another recommendation for Bach... A chum of mine on his Wal bass... A nocturne or prelude should fit the bill nicely. As some have said the are resources out here you can check out.
