Jazz Standard Play-Alongs for Trumpet, Vol. 3, continues building one of the most practical, musician-focused play-along series available to trumpet players. This volume leans deeper into bebop language, classic swing phrasing, and lyrical ballad playing, giving you a book that feels like a well-curated jam session rather than a generic “standards collection.” As with the earlier volumes, every tune is written to sit naturally on the trumpet, supported by studio-quality backing tracks and complete demo recordings so you can hear exactly how the music should feel before you play it yourself.
Jazz Standard Play-Alongs for Trumpet, Vol. 4, takes the series into deeper, more demanding repertoire, music that defines modern jazz trumpet playing and separates casual familiarity from real command of the language. This volume blends modal jazz, hard bop, bebop velocity, and harmonically advanced standards, giving players a serious but musical workout that still feels idiomatic and rewarding on the horn. As always, each tune is paired with studio-quality backing tracks and complete demo recordings by Erik, so you can internalize sound, time, and phrasing before stepping fully into the soloist’s role.
