Jazz Conception is an exciting way for players at all levels to learn the language of jazz! Jazz Conception: Trombone Book and CD set features 21 solo etudes based on chord changes to standards and blues. See and hear how a well-known soloist phrases, articulates, and plays along with or without the soloist on the CD. Play along with one of today's finest swinging New York rhythm sections: Mike LeDonne on piano, Dennis Irwin on bass, and Kenny Washington on drums. Start out fairly easy, then get progressively more difficult. Use the etudes as a bridge to solos of the masters that are usually more complicated and involved. Learn melodies and lines that will give you a solid jazz vocabulary and musicality. Use the book/MP3 CD sets for private lessons, for self-study, or in any combination up to a full jazz ensemble, including flute and clarinet. If you are more advanced you may want to use the book to develop your sight reading abilities, for transcribing the etudes off the CD (then check against the book), or for just having fun playing along with a great jazz rhythm section. Used as an improvisation study, learning how to construct a swinging, logical solo works especially well in combination with the Study Guide (item #01-ADV14730). Titles: Groove Blues * Amen * A Doll * Total Blues * Grease * Rose * Joe's Thing * Proxy * Father Song * Ind Line * Miles * Blue Minor * Autumn * Friends * Great Love * Two Plus Two * Lunar * Tunesia * Bird Blues * Somewhere * Passage.

Unlike most duets, these pieces were designed to serve many purposes. First and foremost, they are intended to be fun to play and listen to, but each of them is challenging and filled with musical problems comparable to those found in professional playing situations. Some of the uses to which these duets might be put are: Developing sight reading skills. To this end the players are encouraged to vary the tempo, dynamics, phrasing as well as switch parts. Learning to recognize and interpret some of the most commonly used jazz figures. Developing a feel for swing. Developing facility and technique. Developing transpositional skills. The performer is encouraged to also use the duets for sight singing, studying the II/V7 and other formulaic patterns and in actual performance situations.
