Jazz Trombone Ballads - Book Crowdfunding
Posted: Sat May 08, 2021 10:57 am
Hello everyone,
I’m crowdfunding to publish my first book, Jazz Trombone Ballads. This book is a mix of:
- Jazz Vocalises. Eleven ballad transcriptions of some of the great players (Jack Teagarden, J.J. Johnson, Melba Liston, Carl Fontana, Frank Rosolino…). It’s kinda like a Jazz Rochut.
- History of the jazz trombone. Each player is contextualized in history with a biography full of anecdotes, quotes from their contemporaries, other trombone players, historians…
- Technical stuff. How do we play articulations in jazz? Which mutes do we use?
This book is aimed at students and professional players of all levels, and is a great entry to jazz playing for classical musicians (it's aimed mostly at students from Catalonia, Spain, etc... where we don't have much jazz trombone teaching/history resources in spanish/catalan).
Also, the book is illustrated by the awesome artist Hermes LeBleu and has a modern and original layout. It’s written in Spanish and you can support its production through the following link. Also, there are beautiful t-shirts and prints. (we can ship everywhere including US, Europe, South America...)
I'm very happy to share it with you in TromboneChat, where I always find answers to all kind of trombone questions and doubts.
Thanks a lot and I hope you like it!-
