Jazz & Blues - Trombone

Play-Along Solos

By Jack Long

Not what I was looking for in a Jazz book. The one song I wanted, "God Bless The Child", was disappointing. Looking for a little more substance. Music can be challenging but I want the Trombone part to be more a part of the music. I did not feel the...

flow.

Love the tunes, difficulty is perfect. I'll use with every int. student. Instr. range and rhythmic difficulty as well as chord changes are great.

Sure, when I was in High School 20 years ago, this would have been an easy book. But now that I am 20+ years older and my brain works slower, and having just picked the trombone back up after so long, this makes a great book to help get back...

up to speed. The songs aren't exactly how I remember them from the versions I have heard, but that's what improvisation is for :) I especially like "A Night In Tunesia" (Love "Manhattan Transfer" when they sang it)...

these pieces are great for the intermediate level players. the CD accompaniment makes it sound even better. i love em and its a good deal to anybody.

Good selection of tunes but, difficult to eliminate the melody Xylophone. Would have been better to have two (2) CDs; one with melody and one with only the background music. Range is a little low and could have been done in higher keys. I had to transpose a full octave...

with some sections of pieces. Would have been nice to have chords noted on sheet in improvised sections. Over-all a good book with some classic 50"s and early 60's tunes
