Jazz etudes like Snidero

Hello everybody,

Do you know about other books like the ones of Jim Snidero for trombone?

Thanks!

Jack Gale has a nice book of 24 jazz etudes in different styles. I also enjoy his 12 Jazz Duets.

Just make sure you find one WRITTEN by a trombone player. Stuff that works great on a sax will both look and sound awkward on a trombone.

+1 on anything Jack Gale wrote. He did some great bone quartets.

Also, Mark Nightingale's jazz book is quite good.

J.J. Johnson's Exercises and Etudes for the Jazz Instrumentalist.

For what it's worth, the Snidero etudes are quite playable on trombone for the most part, despite his being a sax player.

McChesney has an etude book.

This is the McChesney book:

McChesney is really great. His instruction in his books is just about the best, too. But the stuff he does requires you to develop a world class shift. If anyone has overcome the limitations of the horn it is him. But it is much much easier to let the horn dictate your performance envelope.

Effective Etudes for Jazz by Mike Carubia and Jeff Jarvis. There are 2 volumes and I like the first volume best. The first half of Vol. 1 is easy enough for high schoolers and then it gets harder.

How about the old Tommy Pederson stuff. Is it still in print?
