'Improvisational Patterns: The Bebop Era' is a series of pattern books predicated on the belief that while certain patterns seem to transcend eras and styles, the greater body of improvisational material is of high specificity with regard to its time and place within the jazz continuum. The bebop era initiates the series since in the minds of many people, (the author included), this era is the common practice period of jazz music. While the patterns in this book are also highly specific, they enjoy a greater continuing currency than do the patterns of any other period in jazz's brief history. The many II V7, cycle and turnaround patterns are based on protracted studies of literally hundreds of solos by the jazz greats of the bebop era. Volume 1 is over 100 pages and volumes 2 and 3 are over 50 pages each, making this one of the biggest jazz improv books ever written.

From the Foreword, by David Baldwin: Here is a trumpet book that has been waiting 90 years to become a classic in the advanced trumpet etude repertoire. David Bertie has taken on the monumental task of completely re-imagining every aspect of this work. Aaron Harris first published this series of violin studies and technical calisthenics in 1930. While an impressive body of work, it has never become widely used by trumpet players because of its many shortcomings. With David Bertie's superb revision, this 'new' book is easily on the same level as the etudes by Theo Charlier, Walter Smith, or Chris Gekker. These pieces are not just for violin anymore. A trumpet player can now develop his or her skills to be as sophisticated a musician as any violinist on a Stradivarius!

Chris Gekker's 24 Etudes for Trumpet are meant to cover a wide range of trumpet playing areas. Everything from low register playing, multiple tonguing, legato intervals, supple and flexible articulation, and difficult key signatures. Chris is one of the finest trumpeters of his generation, and by combining his technical ability with his compositional aptitude we are left with a set of trumpet studies that are so fantastically idiomatic that trumpeters all over the world are raving.

After the hundreds of books that we have published and distributed over the decades, we had yet to include something devoted to the subject of trumpet mutes, which are such important tools for all trumpeters. Thanks to Louise Baranger, who states, 'The importance of owning good mutes cannot be stressed enough', we have produced this booklet which ought to have a place in any trumpet player's library.

Given the many demanding disciplines involved in achieving a solid 'sound' on the trumpet, it's easy to understand why most trumpet methods concentrate on breath control/ support, range and endurance- and attention to air/finger coordination is often overlooked. The purpose of these exercises is to challenge and develop greater finger strength, speed and flexibility. For best results, practice these exercises in strict tempo - with a metronome - making sure that you push the valves down firmly. As you master, increase tempo in small increments. Always keep your air stream supported and sing through the entire exercise. Remember, the last note is as important (if not, more) as the first!

These Studies include excellent practice for the lower register of the trumpet which is often overlooked in many method books. By using these studies in daily practice, the student will further develop finger dexterity. At the same time, playing in the lower register will relax and set the lips.

Maury Deutsch's 'The Extended Trumpet Range' is subtitled 'An approach to utilizing isotonic and isometric techniques from C below bass clef to triple high C.' The first sample image after the cover shows the range he means, and I have to say, a range that big could be VERY useful. This books is long and in depth, taking you through all areas of study surrounding range including theoretical basis of playing, warm ups, modes, isometric drills, pedal tones, and so much more. The writing is precise and specific, laying out a plan of study to help increase your range meaningfully and sizeably.
