Summary of This Method
Jazz Phrasing for Trumpet and Jazz Phrasing for Trombone offers ten short, catchy, and decidedly musical themes, designed to be accessible from the first readings while developing a solid jazz language. Each piece highlights fundamental elements of phrasing and melodic construction: the logical chaining of ideas through sequences, the variation of a motif to create a coherent narrative, and voice-leading to smoothly connect chords. This results in phrases that "tell a story," rather than just a series of notes, making it a particularly effective tool for methodical improvisation practice.
The play-along CD enhances learning by placing the instrumentalist in a realistic group context. Depending on the version, you play with the sound and articulation of a reference soloist (Victor Garcia on trumpet or Russ Phillips on trombone), while also having tracks where Greg Fishman presents each theme on alto saxophone, useful for getting accustomed to another melodic timbre. " Rhythm section only " tracks then allow you to rehearse the pieces, explore the chords, scales, connecting lines, and especially to solo freely over the changes, working on rhythmic placement and intention.
Recommended for all levels, this method targets improvement of sound, articulation, and phrasing, while developing understanding of thematic development, a cornerstone of jazz (Swing, Bebop, Bossa). The "Suggested Use" section offers concrete practice suggestions, the "Style & Analysis" section clarifies essential concepts, and the thematic index facilitates immediate comparison of the openings of the ten pieces (intervals and harmonic context).
