Top trumpeter RĂƒÂŒdiger Baldauf (Heavytones) together with Freddi Lubitz (Höhner) wrote six funky tunes especially for trumpet. Inspired by legends of funk and soul music like James Brown or Tower Of Power, the two well-known thoroughbred musicians deliver authentic funk with rich grooves and first-class play-alongs - perfect for experienced trumpeters! All titles are composed in the tempos typical of funk and are each prepared with three etudes on the musical and technical content. The audio recordings were recorded live with the well-known musicians Moritz MĂƒÂŒller (drums) and Christian Frentzen (keys/Fender Rhodes) and convincingly transport the typically pulsating funk beat for the ultimate play-along experience. RĂƒÂŒdiger Baldauf exclusively plays Bach instruments in cooperation with GEWA Music.

Jazz Conception is a new and exciting way for players at all levels to learn the language of jazz! Each book set features 21 solo etudes based on chord changes to standards and blues.
Play along with one of today's finest, swinging New York rhythm sections: Mike LeDonne on piano, Dennis Irwin on bass, and Kenny Washington on drums.
Start out fairly easy, then get progressively more difficult.
Use the etudes as a bridge to solos of the masters that are usually more complicated and involved.
Learn melodies and lines that will give you a solid jazz vocabulary and musicality.
Use the book sets for private lessons, for self-study, or in any combination up to a full jazz ensemble, including flute and clarinet.
If you are more advanced you may want to use the book to develop your sight reading abilities, for transcribing the etudes (then check against the book) or for just having fun playing along with a great jazz rhythm section.
Use as an improvisation study, learning how to construct a swinging, logical solo - works especially well in combination with the Study Guide.
The Jazz Conception Series is also perfectly suited for the class room. It can be used to develop younger students jazz style in a big band or small group. In an improvisation class the teacher can use the etudes as studies in improvisation. The Study Guide provides an analysis of each etude, along with practice assignments for each etude.
