Music Minus One Trumpet-This volume 3 of the Signature Series will lean towards a jazzier concept than the previous volumes and to set that tone I chose Lullaby of Birdland as the first song! And who better to place in that #1 position than Mel Torme as the singer associated with George Shearing's jazz classic! I had the pleasure of playing with the Velvet Fog in a very memorable jazzy setting. It was in the 1960s and Mel did a two week engagement at NYC's Basin Street East with the Marty Paich Dektette Band. Let's go forward to the 21st century to my play-along version and a few guidelines on how to approach it. There are actually three approaches. First as the trumpet soloist then playing the unisonline with the horns and finally as a lead player on top of the little big band. Our next song When I Fall in Love was one of Nat Cole's many huge hits. It's a song I play often on my jazz gigs. Here's a very lush arrangement for you to explore the low and high register of the hrons meaning flugelhorn for the first chorus and trumpet for the out chorus. Notice that I hug the melody only adding ornaments here and there and a modest amount of embellishments. Please focus on the subtleties and nuances in phrasing which can't be complete captured with notation. Listening with the intention of acquiring these skills is the proper mind-set. -Bob Zottola.

Jazz Classics for the Young Ensemble – Grade 3One of the classic blues tunes of all time here is vibes giant Milt Jackson's familiar riff tune in a playable swing arrangement from Mark Taylor. Trumpet and tenor(along with vibes and guitar) take the melody first time around with ensemble counterlines helping out next. Solos are included for tenor and trumpet followed by a full band shout. Great sounding chart!

Jazz Classics for the Young Ensemble – Grade 3Here is a classic up-tempo swinger from jazz legend Curtis Fuller skillfully adapted for younger players by Paul Murtha. The saxes are featured on the rollicking themeand there are written or ad lib. solos for tenor trumpet and trombone. Experienced bands will want to crank up the tempo but this chart still swings at a moderate pace as well.

Young Jazz Classics-One of the most enduring compositions from Miles Davis' early career is this medium swing tune recorded on the 1954 album Walkin'. In this terrific chart for younger players Rick Stitzel uses some nifty phrase extensionsin the beginning then alternates the full ensemble with statements by a small group. Solos for trumpet and tenor sax are also included.

This ballad is ideal for a change of pace in your program. Thelonious Monk's jazz classic, carefully scored here by Victor Lopez, showcases your trumpet or flugelhorn player. Because Lopez made this chart very accessible, with ranges for solo trumpet to A-flat and trombone to F, and because Monk wrote interesting chord changes, the band will sound great and enjoy playing it. Perfect for festivals or concerts, 'ROUND MIDNIGHT is one of those jazz standards all students of jazz should learn and play. Here's a perfect opportunity to teach phrasing, style and blend with this fine chart.

This early jazz classic by Miles Davis is an excellent vehicle for introducing the blues. The trumpet soli section is derived from Miles' original solo and may be performed either as a solo or as a section feature.

As recorded by the Count Basie Orchestra here is Sammy Nestico's classic arrangement of this Frank Foster jazz standard! Including all the signature piano stylings muted brass on the first strain sax soli trumpet solo and ashout chorus that roars this timeless chart deserves a place in every band's library.

John Coltrane's wonderful jazz classic is written in a medium up-tempo swing style and features solid ensemble figures alternating with a small combo (alto tenor bari. tpt. tbn.). Includes solos for tenor or trumpet.

Rüdiger Baldauf is one of Germany‘s best-known Trumpet players not least by playing with the Heavytones Stefan Raab’s show band for his daily TV Total show. His first solo album 'Own Style' was released in 2010 to international critical acclaim. Now here’s the long-awaited Play-along! Here’s his own quote:“After my CD was released I felt the strong wish to conceive a Play-along version of my album aimed at Trumpet players especially. To help classical Trumpet players or those who have no previous experience playing Jazz get started improvising I recorded and notated an exemplary chorus for each song.Thesolo parts notated here are meant to inspire your own improvisations. You’ll find the same songs on my CD ‘Own Style’ partly in different versions using other sounds like a Harmon Damper a Flugelhorn or electronic effects. All solos have been re-recorded for this collection without any effects or dampers so you’ll hear just the pure Trumpet tone for better comparison with your own sound. I wish every Trumpet player a lot of fun with these songs and I hope this collection helps you find your ‘Own Style’.”
