Description
The exciting world of lead trombone in the modern large jazz ensemble and rock/funk/pop horn sections. Lead playing is an art where time, tone, and projection combine with the “grease” of jazz language via articulation and interpretation. To be a lead player is to be consistent and compelling and therefore easy to follow. In Leadology, multiple Grammy-nominated trombonist and composer Steve Wiest shows you his system for playing lead that is based on air efficiency, low-to-no stress, and the assimilation and application of jazz syntax.
With thorough discussions of the acquisition of jazz vocabulary along with the interpretation of jazz notation, Leadology becomes a method for trombonists of all genres.
Add to all that Wiest’s relaxed and humor-filled approach to pedagogy (including his wonderful cartoons!) and you get a methodology that is both practical and highly effective.
