Summary of This Book
Designed for trombonists who want to explore an immediately recognizable soul/funk repertoire, this book offers solo arrangements of 15 iconic tracks, accompanied by a CD to play with a full backing. The goal is clear: to help you work on musicality and style awareness while gaining confidence on pieces with a strong groove.
Thanks to the CD, you can practice independently and focus on the essential aspects of funk playing: rhythmic precision, tempo stability, clean attacks, breath control, and endurance. It is also an excellent way to refine your expressiveness (sustained notes, accents, dynamics) and learn to "tell a story" through a theme, as in great soul recordings.
The content spans various atmospheres, from ultra-effective instrumental riffs to ballads and major classics of the R&B scene: Green Onions (Booker T. & The MG's), I Get the Sweetest Feeling (Jackie Wilson), I Got You (I Feel Good) (James Brown), I Say a Little Prayer (Dionne Warwick), In the Midnight Hour (Wilson Pickett), Let's Stay Together (Al Green), Pick Up the Pieces (Average White Band), Private Number (William Bell), Respect (Aretha Franklin), (Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay (Otis Redding), Soul Man (Sam & Dave), Stand by Me (Ben E. King), Take Me to the River (Al Green), Walkin' the Dog (Rufus Thomas), and Who's Making Love (Johnnie Taylor).
Whether you want to energize your practice sessions, prepare for a group performance, or simply play great tunes with accompaniment, this collection provides a solid foundation to adopt the funk and soul codes on trombone, with an immediate musical result.
