To succeed as a trumpet player you must perform your section part impeccably, in rapport with the lead player. Think with the lead player's brain. Play it with him or her. Blow up to, not over his or her volume and intensity. Don't wait to hear what the lead player does or you'll be late. Vibrato comes from the lead player. If he's not using it, you're not using it. Dan Collette's book on lead and section trumpet playing is a very well thought out and extremely useful tool for all aspiring and professional trumpet players. In a common sense approach and playing in a variety of styles, Dan demonstrates and clearly explains his perspective of lead and section playing. The trumpet sectional quartets by Steve Guttman are excellent and the execution of these etudes on the CD as played by Dan Collette playing all 4 parts is flawless and nothing short of inspiring. This work should prove itself to be required listening and reading for all serious trumpet players.

Listening to an airtight, professional brass band like Marshall Cooper can be daunting for musicians interested in entering the realm of jazz and popular music performance. Manuel Hilleke, band leader/arranger/composer, presents Groove Trumpet in hopes of making that entry a bit easier. My aim is to use simple song and groove forms to introduce players to the basics of pop and jazz trumpet, along with section playing, articulation and phrasing techniques, soloing and improvisation. Eleven intermediate-level pieces in various styles are annotated with tips and tricks, and the audio CD includes live recordings of the Marshall Cooper brass band for play-along. Experimentation and improvisation is encouraged. Groove Trumpet is especially helpful for classical musicians who want to cross over.

According to the score notes for this pensive adaptation, the key to a warm and colorful rendition lies chiefly in an exceptional emphasis on dynamics. Playing in a smooth legato style and with vibrato at the climactic moments is highly recommended. A brief cameo for lead trumpet midway through is the only solo.

Check out this tasty setting of an old standard. It features an alto solo on the intro, then settles into a nice bossa groove. The solo section is double time for an added kick, with the bones playing the familiar melody in the background. Great writing!
