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.

Jazz Phrasing for Trombone will provide valuable insights into a melodic approach to jazz improvisation. This book is recommended for trombone players of all levels who wish to improve their tone, articulation, phrasing, and understanding of thematic development.

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..

English-German.

The piece was written in 2003, commissioned by the Budapest Spring Festival. The process of the work follows the line of the composer s personal interpretation of the original poem. In this song the original dark, grim ending appears as a sort of cathartic dénouement. The theme is love versus mortality. The work is a kind of wholly composed song written in the 21st century its form derives basically from the text. The narrator begins the story in Sprechgesang and in the final lines of the poem tries to sing in a normal singing voice. This acoustic line is followed by the merging of the sinus tones into the clarinet parts. Thus, basically, a peculiar change of toneintroduced for dramatic purposes constitutes the essence of the song. First performance: March 2003.

Das Stück entstand 2003 im Auftrag des Budapester Frühlingsfestivals. Der Verlauf des Werkes folgt der eigenen Interpretationen des Gedichtsoriginales. Das ursprünglich finstere Ende erscheint in diesem Lied wie ein kathartischer Ausgang. Sein Thema ist im Gegensatz zur Vergänglichkeit die Liebe. Das Werk ist eine Art im 21. Jahrhundert entstandenes, durchkomponiertes Lied, seine Form basiert grundsätzlich auf dem Text. Der Erzähler beginnt die Geschichte im Sprechgesang, in den letzten Zeilen des Gedichtes versucht er jedoch bereits mit einer normalen Gesangstimme zu singen. Diesem akustischen Zug folgt die Umschmelzung der Sinustöne in die Klarinettenstimmen. Dadurch schafft einegrundsätzlich auf dramaturgischen Aspekten basierende Änderung im Klang das Wesen des Liedes. Premiere: März 2003.

Melody is the very essence of music. -W.A.Mozart (1786)Mozart confirmed this view on melody by writing the Ave Verum Corpus near theend of his short life. Originally written for chorus, strings, and organ, this work standsamong the most beautiful musical expressions of all time. Timothy Johnson has skillfullymade Mozart's wondrous achievement available to concert bands. It's perfect forworship services and the sostenuto style, with careful attention to dynamics, makesit a great choice for that middle spot at festival or for the more serious moment atany performance. Given the opportunity, young bands LOVE to play truly greatmusic, and it just doesn't getmuch better than the mastery of Mozart.

Mozart componeerde het beroemde motet Ave Verum Corpus in 1791, tijdens zijn laatste levensjaar. Hij schreef het voor Anton Stoll, die leraar en koordirigent was in Baden (nabij Wenen). Hoewel het een van Mozarts kortste compositiesbetreft, wordt dit motet beschouwd als een van zijn beste werken en wordt het wereldwijd veelvuldig uitgevoerd. Het Ave Verum biedt de mogelijkheid om te werken aan de rijkdom van emotie die met muziek uitgedruktkan worden.

Ave Verum Corpus ist eine Motette, die Mozart in seinem Todesjahr als Auftragswerk schrieb. Obwohl sie eines seiner kürzesten Kompositionen ist, gilt sie doch vielen als eines der schönsten. Timothy Johnson schrieb eine einfühlsame Bearbeitung für Blasorchester dieses musikalischen Kleinods.
