Books:

Marstellar & Rochut

Brad Edwards - Lip Slur Melodies

On the iPad:

Mark Nightingale - Warm-Up Book & 20 Jazz Etudes

Transcriptions of Fred Wesley (Pass the Peas), Dennis Rollins (Shake it Down), Jack Teagarden (St. James Infirmary)

Also a metronome/tuner, which is probably the most useful thing on there!

Great question!

Today, just the Ilan Morgenstern Trombone Exercise Library Project. Day 3 of coming back after a short break.

Once I'm back, a huge list... something specific for every double, big band tunes, excerpts, solos... maybe a bit too much!

Not enough :/ I’ve been doing a lot of reading theory books though. Music wise, bach cello suite 2, zwei phantasiestucke, bob mcchesney’s harmonic dexterity which is insanely hard to sound good on, and a crazy reharmonization of twinkle twinkle little star for trombone quintet i’m gonna record for my little sister

I love me an Eb funk or trad. tune! So easy to move around in, the range sits nicely on the horn, and I really prefer having my "home position" be 3rd (rather than 1st in Bb).

I'm returning to modern trombone seriously for the first time in years:

Sachse concerto (bass version) and bass excerpts.

Otherwise:

Bunch of 15th century music I need to learn for a concert on slide trumpet in a month.

Much of my practice these days is without a stand proper (improv and playing by ear)

Feeling a little bit sorry for you ;)

I was so happy to never play Sachse again when I decided I would not pursue an orchestral career anymore.

Good luck with whatever you are aiming for!

For me it's Blue Topaz on bass as I will probably be playing it with a trombone ensemble in the summer. And Bob Mcchesney's harmonic dexterity.

On tenor it's sometimes Sulek Sonata. I might start really working on Ropartz or Martin Ballade for some fun. Could be a stupid idea :D

On alto I might pick up one of the concertos again or get into the Mozart requiem part for the challenge.

Open for suggestions for small tenor!?

Overall I am trying to spend a bit more time on actual music this year.

Most of the people there were pupils of John and played in the brass band he formed, Redbridge Brass. The exception was miss incorrect breath, who was a violinist studying at college who was going out with the principal euph player.

There was a band reunion a few years back where we found out how each others lives had gone....weird.

Preparing my first audition in years (mostly because with the pandemic and all the cancelled projects, why not!).

I'm actually happy to work on the Sachse. It's not great music, but there's way more room to work on interpretation and musical ideas on the than it seems, especially at the "micro" scale, and I like the challenge of making it interesting. And I've never learned the piece before (I was primarily a tenor player before I moved to early instruments and although I had played quite a bit of bass in orchestra and ensembles and worked on excerpts a lot, I hadn't worked on much solo rep), so it's very fresh and I'm not bored with it yet. Hopefully that might be an advantage when the rest of the field just can't stand the piece :lol:

Bordogni.

Not so much on my stand as on my desktop.

An off-and-on project of mine has been to transcribe the original piano accompaniments to the "Rochut" Bordogni etudes in to MuseScore format to use as play-alongs.

Yes, I do know there have been other efforts to render these as MIDI files or as audio recordings, but those are inflexible and often only basic representations of the music.

Once it is in MuseScore you can easily edit it to any key or tempo you wish along with any nuance you desire.

I have found public domain sources for most of them but several elude me. In particular, the ones numbered in Rochut as 15, 26, 27, 29, 31, 35, 36, 38, 42, 43, 44, 49, 50

If anyone should encounter public domain sources for the accompaniments of any of those... let me know.

That's one heck of a database! I purchased just about every fake book Hal Leonard sells, so I have all the tunes covered. What this database allows me to do is to take each tune and reformat it in Finale, then use the chords to cobble up a Band-in-a-Box accompaniment. What normally took me about an hour per chart now takes me about 10 minutes. Thanks!

One of my own files containing Band-in-a-Box Lead Sheets for Standards. The tunes were selected from combined Top 10 surveys carried out by various sources. This is the list, with my favorite recording shown:

Body And Soul - George Chisholme

All The Things You Are - Frank Rosolino

Summertime - Miles Davis

Autumn Leaves - Curtis Fuller

'Round Midnight - Cootie Williams with Ellington

On Green Dolphin Street - Miles Davis

I Can't Get Started - Bunny Berigan

My Funny Valentine - JJ Johnson

Take The 'A' Train - Roy Williams

Lover Man - Jim Cullum

Blue Bossa - JJ Johnson

What Is This Thing Called Love - Art Pepper

There Is No Greater Love - Frank Rosolino

Yesterdays - JJ Johnson

Satin Doll - Duke Ellington

Stella By Starlight - JJ Johnson

Have You Met Miss Jones - Bruce Turner

Tunes included that I like but are outside of the Top 10:

What's New

Undecided

Tangarine

Star Dust

I'm Gettting Sentimental Over You

This was a file I put together many years ago and I was just having some fun playing with the Band-in-a-Box rhythm sections. Thank goodness that the rules here in Queensland for the pandemic are allowing me to play with real musicians once more.

Thanks. My aim is to improve flexibiltiy and I'm planning to work on that in my comfortable range to start with. My general plan will be to work though methodically and slowly and only play in the range which I consider comfortable. It'll just be a short slot in my practice routuine, say 5-10 mins max.

"Tuck Me To Sleep In My Old Tucky Home" from "The Real Dixieland Book". It's really strange but I do not ever remember hearing a band play this previously. Recently one of the guys in our Dixieland Band, 'The Swing Time Stompers', requested we play it, and I went searching around YouTube to find some examples, of which there are many. Now I have prepared the Play Sheets so that we can do it at the next rehearsal. I want to make sure I can play it fluently, which is not going to be difficult. I really like the tune and I imagine it must be quite well know in the USA.

- Doing a lot of basics (not really any sheetmusic required for this)

- Preparing some ensemble stuff to play the pieces individually, but also to get used to play all that stuff in one concert (Crespo/Bruckner etude, Andresen 3 Swedish tunes, Fly me to the moon...)

- Returned to playing 1-3 Bordognis per day

Also I want to do a little more recording of myself again. The last time I did this (to provide my great overseas teacher with some good playing examples) I again noticed how this is a totally different demand to myself when things are being taped.

Vining Bass Trombone Flow Studies and Edwards Lip Slur Melodies as I simultaneously work on rebuilding stability & endurance and getting acclimated to a new Greg Black mouthpiece (lightweight 1 3/8g .295 with a #1 shank).

I'm always on the lookout for "jazz" or "commercial" stuff to read so last night I lied to the TMEA website and said I attend Elkhart HS so it would take my $5 in exchange for the 2022 all state audition bass trombone jazz etudes. There's one by Chris Glassman which I particularly like.

Been getting back to basics, both with old familiar material, and with a few new purchases:

1. Old standards:

Arban - Trumpet book (in Tenor, Alto and Bass clefs, plus adjacent keys - B flat/B natural, etc.)

Bordogni/Rochut - Book 1 (using clef changes as well)

Blazhevitch - Clef Studies

2. New finds:

Scale & Arpeggio Routines - Milt Stevens (great organized way to practice scales)

Arban/Groves - Alto Trombone Method (great way to get more "solid" on the alto)

Trombone Unlimited - Megumi Kanda (highly recommended - mix of exercises and etudes with some good advice mixed in)

I definitely prefer it at the Basie band tempo versus the Buddy Rich band tempo.

Are you familiar with Nestico's 'Ya Gotta Try... Harder'?

Still 'The Real Dixieland Book' from Hal Leonard, mainly for copyright reasons with our community band, and a ruling which I do not quite understand. However, it is a great publication and does contain just about every Dixieland standard you can think of. The one I am working on at present is "Ace In The Hole", and I even do the vocal for this tune. I am a bit envious of "those guys, who think they're might wise". Nice lifestyle.
