The Latin Brass Soloist - Trompette

Latin Brass Soloist by Gabriel Rosati provides an extensive study into the various trumpet and trombone styles including: Salsa Mambo Merengue Calypso Cha Cha and more! These 50 exciting examples will have you spending many enjoyable hours learning the intricacies of Latin brass playing. The book is transcribed note for note from the superbly recorded audio. Each example is recorded twice the first version with brass piano bass and percussion and the second version with just piano bass and percussion so that the brass player can practice along with the rhythm section. All pieces are arranged for either Bb Trumpet or Trombone (bassclef) so there's something for everyone! The licks are short enough to be easily transposed for other instruments.

Two fantastic pieces; J.S. Bach's Jesu Joy Of Man's Desiring and Vivaldi's Allegro from Double Trumpet Concerto. In both of these Baroque Gems it is essential that an appropriate tempo is set immediately and maintained without effort. The arranger suggests metronome values around 84 for the Bach piece and 116 for the Vivaldi.In the Bach always have awareness of where the melody lies and give careful consideration to whether the dotted quaver - semiquaver rhythm is played with a triplet feel or in strict time. In the Vivaldi the solo parts could be played on just about any pitch of Trumpet though it would be best if the twosoloists could use the same pitch of Trumpet whatever that may be. Players that own natural Trumpets and never play them might see this as an ideal opportunity to let them off!The Latin section needs to be played with good rhythm and a sense of fun.
