you put it all together.
How to Play Lead
Trombone in a Big Band by
Mark Kellogg is an
annotated guide written
to help trombonists
explore the joys and
challenges of playing in
a large jazz ensemble.
Topics covered include
the distinct roles of
lead and section players
in a big band; playing
with a cohesive section
sound; and performing
with an even sense of
balance, intonation, and
rhythmic feel. These
insightful comments are
conveyed by taking a
detailed look at seven
compositions and
addressing the specific
challenges of each work.
The CD which accompanies
this text provides a
helpful aural guide,
enabling the trombonist
to listen to each example
or to play along with the
recording. The variety of
jazz styles covered in
this volume include
medium swing, funk,
bossa, fast swing, and
Afro-Cuban feels.
Composers and arrangers
of these pieces include
some of the most
innovative and respected
voices of the genre, such
as Clare Fischer, Bill
Dobbins, Jim Snidero,
Heiner Wiberny, and Joey
Sellers. This publication
is designed for use by
trombonists of all ages
and experience
levels.
