Little Leaps and Sounds for Trumpet w/ Play-a-longs PDF

“Little Leaps and Sounds: 12 Intermediate Jazz Etudes” is a collection of 12 etudes written over the chord changes to common jazz standards. Each etude features specific harmonic considerations/substitutions, tempos and styles. This collection of etudes aims to serve any instrumentalist who is looking to challenge themselves in the traditional range of their instrument, using fresh harmony and contemporary jazz vocabulary. 

The play-a-long tracks offer the performer the chance to play the solos at tempo with and without  recorded soloist accompaniment. Trumpeter, Dr. Eric Siereveld, has recorded the soloist play-a-long tracks on trumpet for this version of the book. A duplicate of each solo has been added immediately following the original version and contains diagrammed harmonic analysis. Each diagrammed analysis is also accompanied by a written analysis of the solo.
