The music featured in this folio part of a continuing series of books covering the music of the legendary trumpet player/composer consists of original Davis compositions from three different periods. Miles was signed to the Prestige label in the '50s and many of the recordings he made for that label were recorded after Miles had already signed a contract with Columbia Records. There were a number of marathon sessions made to finish out the Prestige agreement. Most of the resulting recordings are regarded as classics today and such tunes as 'Green Haze' and 'Tune Up' are favorites among jazz musicians young and old. Davis' Columbia recordings of 1958-59are prized for the excellence of the material the solos of Cannonball Adderley John Coltrane Wynton Kelly and Bill Evans and the beauty of the recording quality. Kind of Blue included such gems as 'Blue in Green' 'So What' and 'Freddie Freeloader'. Not only is Kind of Blue one of the best-selling albums of all time it kick-started the new jazz shich stressed modes and scales rather than chords. Miles led another legendary quartet in the early '60s with Wayne Shorter Herbie Hancock Ron Carter and Tony Williams. 'Circle' and 'Agitation' became part of the group's active repertoire. The level of soling was consistently excellent and the quartet's appearances at clubs and concert halls were usually sold out.

Par SNEDECOR PHIL. Many years ago, on a suggestion from Marine Band tubist John Cradler, I wrote a quirky collection of tunes set in the lower register of the tuba That book, published in 1991, 'mimics to be popular beyond my wildest dreams with players of all age levels and ability. Its success exposed a void in studies with actual music in the extreme lower part of the tuba range, a part of the instrument that is so important in the music of Prokofiev, Wagner and other composers. The ability to read notes (on sight!) of 4 and 5 ledger lines had only been previously addressed with repetitive exercises and academic method books. The embarrassing gap between that first volume and today's long-awaited and requested second book is only the fault of yours truly, who until recently didn't think there was a sincere desire for a second book. When I did decide to start writing, I was conflicted over which direction to go: Low Vol. 2? Low(er!) Etudes? Higher Lyrical? Orchestral Excerpt-Based Etudes? Duets? I finally decided on this combination of Lou/(er!) Etudes with accompanying duets that give the player a break from the ultra low writing, and provide a chance to revisit the well-loved tunes of the first book with fresh harmonies. I hope you enjoy what I've finally come up with and accept my apologies for taking so long to do it! My sincere thanks to tubists everywhere for making these tunes part of your music-making over the years. This long-awaited Low(er!) Etudes for Tuba includes more of the melodies Phil Snedecor is known for composing. Always harmonically fresh and melodically surprising, these tunes pose challenges beyond the ultra low notes and offer new discoveries upon each reading. Also included are companion duets to the original Low Etudes for Tuba. A great book to keep on the music stand in your studio! / Niveau : 4 / Etudes et exercices / Etude / Trompette

A great title and great chart. A samba groove in cut time around 90 BPM, accessible for a solid grade 2 level. Written solos for trombone 1 and tenor sax 1, and trumpet 1 range goes to written A above the staff with optional lower notes. This chart is fun to play and loaded with energy!
