Summary of This Book
Originally designed for saxophone, these jazz studies find new life here for trumpet thanks to the work of Greg Fishman, who managed to preserve the lyrical character and playing pleasure while maintaining a comfortable range. The result "falls" naturally under the fingers, allowing you to focus on the essentials: tone, articulation, and the musical breathing unique to jazz.
Throughout the studies, you explore typical situations from the jazz and big band repertoire: melodic voice-leading, placement of target notes, tension management, and phrase construction that tells a story. Beyond technique, this book emphasizes solo development : motif variation, work on approach notes, highlighting important scale degrees, and use of leading tones to create movement.
Although the range remains accessible (up to the "A" above the staff), the content is not simplistic: some leaps, progressions, and fingerings deliberately push beyond the comfort zone. This approach encourages the trumpeter to gain fluidity, rhythmic consistency, and ease in the style, so that the lines gradually become smooth, natural, and swinging. Wayne Bergeron also highlights how these studies can make playing the jazz trumpet repertoire even more fun and inspiring once the language is assimilated.
