It is so easy to dismiss a rhythm book as something for beginners, not worth a serious musician's time and energy. We can already read, what more do we need? I felt this way as well, then I was VERY glad that I did not put this book down after the first few pages. Once you get past the first 10 pages of basics you are left with a book of such creative jazz and rock etudes that you wouldn't even consider it to have been written with the intention of improving your reading. This is a fully fledged contemporary jazz rock etude book that gets you reading complex grooves that will keep you coming back for more.

Chesky wrote two great books of Jazz & Rock rhythms for trumpet, but calling them rhythm books does them a bit of a disservice. These are fully fledged contemporary jazz/rock etudes that get you grooving and present you with a different challenge. Compared to Chesky's book 'Contemporary Jazz/Rock Rhythms' these are much more difficult, with harder keys, increased range and flexibility requirements, and much more taxing endurance wise.

One listen to this and you will understand why this chart is described as Determined Rock. An energetic piece with blues changes for soloists and great use of contemporary rhythms. Filled with call and response, plenty of unison lines, interesting rhythmic writing and limited brass ranges. A real winner!
