Jazz Phrasing for Trombone features ten melodic pieces which are easy to play, yet convey the essence of mainstream (Swing/Bebop/Bossa) jazz vocabulary. The pieces are catchy and melodic, demonstrating the use of sequence and voice-leading to make a musical statement.

This book includes a play-along CD featuring trombonist Russ Phillips playing each song with a world-class rhythm section. The CD also includes tracks featuring Greg Fishman demonstrating each song on alto saxophone, giving trombone players the option of playing along with Russ Phillips on trombone or with Greg Fishman on alto saxophone.

In addition, there are play-along tracks featuring just the rhythm section. These tracks are great for practicing the songs, chords, scales, voice-leading lines and soloing over the chords progressions.

A few words from the preface of the book:

Applying good phrasing to music is like using good punctuation in written or spoken language. It involves the grouping of ideas to make the meaning of the words clear to the listener. The words are grouped into sentences, and the sentences are then grouped into paragraphs. The same is true when interpreting a piece of music.

Good phrasing requires a musician to interpret the notes he plays, and determine which notes need to be grouped together to form a complete musical idea.

Each song in Jazz Phrasing for Trombone is designed to train your ear to hear the logical grouping of phrases through the use of sequence and thematic development.

While the art of good phrasing involves the interpretation of note groupings and their relationships, it also involves deciding where you're going to take a breath.

Read the following sentences aloud to compare examples of good and bad phrasing.

Good phrasing, spoken in one continuous breath:

Ladies and gentlemen, it gives me great pleasure to introduce the senior class president.

Bad phrasing, spoken with extra breaths, disrupting the flow and grouping of the words:

Ladies and gentlemen, it gives (breath) me great pleasure to introduce the senior class (breath) president.
The difference between these two sentences is very similar to the difference between a professional musician's phrasing and a student's phrasing. Both may be playing the correct notes with the correct rhythm, but the professional musician knows how to group the notes in a smooth, flowing fashion, while the student takes breaths at random, not even aware that he's disrupting the phrasing.

Jazz Phrasing for Trombone has been carefully designed to help you learn to phrase like a professional player.

These are pieces that will be fun for all musicians who love melodic writing with good thematic development..

Trio Flex is a clever concept that offers you a range of possible options. As well as a demo version played by live instruments, the enclosed CD contains two play-along tracks for each piece. One track features the combo only, and the other track features the combo plus the second and third parts of the trio. Peter Kleine Schaars has arranged ten well-known numbers for three wind instruments in various styles and genres. Play the melody with the combo on the CD, or play the trio version with the other two recorded parts. That will sound great in itself. But you can also form a trio with two co-players, and have yourselves accompanied by the combo on the CD. No matterwihich variation you choose, get ready for a musical experience that will amaze your audience!

Trio-Flex is een uitgekiend concept dat verschillende mogelijkheden met zich meebrengt. De meegeleverde cd bevat - naast een live ingespeelde demoversie - van elk nummer twee begeleidingstracks. Op de ene track hoor je alleenhet combo en op de andere track hoor je het combo met daarbij de tweede en derde stem van het trio.Fun Favorites Peter Kleine Schaars bewerkte tien bekende nummers voor drie spelers in diverse genres en stijlen. Speel demelodie met het combo op de cd, of speel de trioversie met de tegenstemmen. Dat klinkt al geweldig. Maar je kunt ook met twee medespelers een trio vormen en je door het combo op de cd laten begeleiden. Welke variant je ook kiest:bereid je voor op een muzikale belevenis die je publiek versteld zal doen staan!

Trio-Flex ist ein cleveres Konzept, das verschiedene Möglichkeiten bietet. Neben einer live eingespielten Demoversion enthält die beiliegende CD zwei Mitspielversionen jedes Stückes. Eine wird nur von der Combo gespielt, die andere von der Combo zusammen mit der zweiten und dritten Stimme des Trios.Peter Kleine Schaars arrangierte zehn bekannte Titel für drei Posaunen in verschiedenen Genres und Musikstilen. Die Melodie zur Combo auf der CD gespielt oder die Trioversion mit den Gegenstimmen auf der CD - das alleine klingt schon wunderbar. Am schönsten ist allerdings, wenn sich zwei Mitspieler finden und dann im Trio zur Combo-Begleitung auf der CD musiziert werdenkann. Ganz egal, für welche Variante man sich entscheidet: Es wird eine musikalische Erfahrung, die jedes Publikum begeistert!

Trio Flex est un concept malin qui offre plusieurs possibilités de jeu. Chaque pièce est enregistrée dans trois versions : une version intégrale, jouée par un vrai combo, suivie de deux versions play-along qui correspondent une version combo seul et une version combo avec les les voix 2 et 3. Peter Kleine Schaars a arrangé dix morceaux orientés grand public, de styles et de genres variés, pour trois instruments vent. Il y a plusieurs options de jeu : jouer la ligne mélodique avec l'accompagnement du combo seul, jouer la ligne mélodique avec la version combo + voix 2 et 3 ou encore former un trio avec deux amis jouant du même instrument et swinguer avec les musiciens ducombo. Quelle que soit l'option choisie, vous ferez sensation auprès du public!

Fun Favorites è una pubblicazione basata sul concetto di TRIO-FLEX; si può quindi fare musica con tre strumentisti, da soli con il combo, o da soli con il combo e le parti del trio.
