A Louis Armstrong Study Album (Trumpet)

A Louis Armstrong Study Album. For Trumpet, Clarinet (Trumpet). Music Sales America. Jazz. Book only. 76 pages. Music Sales #NOV110226. Published by Music Sales.

Contains six transcriptions, edited by Lionel Grigson, which will be of immense benefit to all jazz musicians, regardless of the instrument (B flat and E flat parts are inserted). Louis Armstrongs contribution to shaping the jazz style was incomparable, and it is important for todays aspiring jazz musician to study his phrasing and melodies. In the words of Miles Davis, The whole of jazz can be summed up in two names: Charlie Parker and Louis Armstrong. The Armstrong transcriptions in this collection, if sympathetically studied, should justify half of that assessment.
