Sittin' In with the Big Band, Volume I Book & CD Trombone Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The band on the recording is excellent.The charts are easy to medium difficultyand mostly enjoyable. Everything is middle register--no problem for either tenor or bass trombone. The arrangements are a mixed bag.A few groovy tunes, some overly repetitious Latin numbers, one ballad and several rather dated ('40s era) style charts. Several offer a chance for solos. There is also a slightlyjazzed-up March from the Nutcracker Suite (that has no rests beyond an occasional eighth rest).Best aspect: playing with a very good band.Worst aspect:some of the arrangement are dated and/or not very interesting.

(More customer reviews)This book is very good for a player who has played for a year or 2. The music is quite easy but sounds so good you will be whistlin' the tunes to yourself after playing them.. Lots of great ideas to use over blues changes etc. Highly recommended.Perhaps the person who gave this 1 star shoul;d take some lessons...

But.. Excellent....for players at a certain level... pgs
