This is what just a few people are saying about the new trumpet duet book, "The Versatile Trumpeter" from Josh Rzepka and Roger Ingram:
"Congratulations Roger and Josh! This has been a great addition to my teaching studio (and my own practice). Trombone players can develop the real-world skill of matching trumpet player's time, style, articulation, and phrasing - a great work out. The articles are really informative for any brass player, and help me understand how trumpet players conceptualize music. I managed to talk these guys into letting me develop a trombone version!" - Andy Baker: Trombone, New Standard Jazz Orchestra, University of Illinois - Chicago
"Congrats on putting together an eclectic book for the working musician, and the "want-to-be" working musician. This book encompasses many techniques and concepts that can only help players achieve the goal of becoming versatile in many styles. Versatility is where it's at for the modern day trumpet player, who is now constantly asked to do more and more. Combined with the fact that these are fun and challenging to play, this is a tremendous book for teachers and performers alike!" - Tim Burke: Broadway in Chicago, Woody Herman Orchestra
"The Versatile Trumpeter" from my long-time friend/section mate Roger Ingram and his partner Josh Rzepka is not just a collection of duets. It is filled with valuable information on stylistic interpretation, articulation, practice guidelines, historical notes, anecdotes, suggested listening lists as well as a number of Roger's articles only previously available to subscribers of the Brass Herald. This book is truly one of a kind. - Dan Miller: Harry Connick Jr, Woody Herman Orchestra, University of Central Florida
