Chris Potter has also demonstrated remarkable breadth as a bandleader and composer. While he is, perhaps, best-known as a reed and woodwind multi-instrumentalist of tremendous power and versatility, The Torch-bearer and logical successor, even, to the late, great, Michael Brecker. This is a wonderful opportunity as trumpeters to work through his material in a well thought out manner. As you explore this book you dive head first into the jazz vocabulary of one of the finest musicians alive today.This book is a summary of exercises and jazz improvisation lines designed to improve contemporary jazz style techniques. The book is divided in scale, arpeggios, chromatic exercises and jazz lines phrases from the great Chris Potter. These exercises should be transposed to all twelve (12) tones, so you can achieve perfect coordination. Major, minor and dominant chords, extended to their highest level, scale wise, arpeggios and chromatic passages. / Partitions jazz&blues / Tous instruments par tonalité / Tous instruments / CHARLES COLIN MUSIC

This theoretical book is meant to improve contemporary jazz styles techniques for all musician players of modern jazz. We will divide this book into scale exercises, arpeggio exercises, jazz line phrases as well as contemporary chord progressions. Exercises consist of diatonic and chromatic exercises; and, line phrases, consist of jazz solos by great musicians such as Miles Davis, Bill Evans, John Coltrane, Freddy Hubbard, Woody Shaw, Wayne Shorter, Joe Henderson, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Joe Farrel, Dave Liebman, Bob Berg, Michael and Randy Brecker, Jerry Bergonzi, George Garzone, Tom Harrel, Chris Potter, Brad Mehldau, Joey Calderazzo, Kenny Garrett, Branford Marsalis, Walt Weiskopf, Rich Perry, Seamus Blake, Alex Sipiagin and many other well known musicians these days. The majority of these exercises should be transposed to all twelve (12) tones, so we can achieve perfect coordination. Major chords, Minor chords and Dominant chords will be extended to their highest level, in scales, arpeggios and chromatic form. There will not be key signature centres, so we will work all exercises in accidental way. These exercises were made as an extension of my first book 'Improvise Now'. There are as well many improvisational lines transcribed from some of the previously mentioned musicians.

Chris Gekker's 24 Etudes for Trumpet are meant to cover a wide range of trumpet playing areas. Everything from low register playing, multiple tonguing, legato intervals, supple and flexible articulation, and difficult key signatures. Chris is one of the finest trumpeters of his generation, and by combining his technical ability with his compositional aptitude we are left with a set of trumpet studies that are so fantastically idiomatic that trumpeters all over the world are raving.

Whenever possible, practice these exercises and etudes with a wide variety of dynamics and styles of articulation. These styles might include: I. Smooth legato tonguing also known as portato . . . . II. Staccato, very clear and crisp. Also practice a kind of staccato that is less clearly articulated, more of a 'puffy' shape. III. Marcato, very strongly articulated with every note maintained at full value, very intense. Excerpt from Introduction by Chris Gekker.

From the Foreword, by David Baldwin: Here is a trumpet book that has been waiting 90 years to become a classic in the advanced trumpet etude repertoire. David Bertie has taken on the monumental task of completely re-imagining every aspect of this work. Aaron Harris first published this series of violin studies and technical calisthenics in 1930. While an impressive body of work, it has never become widely used by trumpet players because of its many shortcomings. With David Bertie's superb revision, this 'new' book is easily on the same level as the etudes by Theo Charlier, Walter Smith, or Chris Gekker. These pieces are not just for violin anymore. A trumpet player can now develop his or her skills to be as sophisticated a musician as any violinist on a Stradivarius!
