15 Easy Jazz, Blues & Funk Etudes: Bass Clef Instrument (Instrumental Series) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have enjoyed playing through Mintzer's other books, '14 Jazz and Funk Etudes' and '14 Jazz and Blues Etudes' and have been able to work on some of these with my advanced high school students.

'15 Easy Jazz/Blues/Funk Etudes' is appropriate for a broader range of high school level trombonists, but most junior high kids won't be able to deal with the 2 octave range (spans one octave in each direction from "tuning note" Bb). The "easy" connotation seems to refer to a more basic rhythmic and harmonic complexity. This book would be accessible to more players if it were written down a 3rd or 4th.

Product Description:
Written for a wide variety of musicians, 15 Easy Jazz, Blues & Funk Etudes will appeal to both aspiring players and to more experienced musicians. For the younger player, particular care is given to range, rhythmic figures and overall playability. The more accomplished musician will appreciate the high level of musicality, the lyrical compositions and the opportunities to improvise. Either way, the format is simple: Bob Mintzer plays and demonstrates each etude with a stellar rhythm section on the included CD. You learn each etude slowly. When ready, you play the etude with the CD accompaniment.
