Hey everyone what's up? I haven't posted on here before - I'm about done with my junior year in HS and I'm gonna try and go to Indiana University to study jazz - anyway, I'm hittin up Aebersold 2nd week this year, so I was wondering if any of y'all were too...

Well, with me I guess it's kind of a foregone conclusion....

Welcome Carnarus,

Hit the"Search" button and you'll find tons of discussions on the Aebersol stuff. We all cut our teeth on that stuff at your age . . . even old farts like me (I'm 51). I still use 'em today too!

The Aebersol stuff has been around for a long time because it works!

Good luck!

Sincerely,

Tom Turner

I believe Canarus is asking who might be attending the Aebersold Summer Jazz Workshops this July in Louisville, Kentucky. Am I correct?

The trumpet faculty will again include Scott Wendholt, Jim Rotondi, Jim Ketch, me, and several other fine players and educators.

I started out playing with Aebersold records, and most of the songs are in written keys!

My holiday got booked for the same week, damn it.

Can someone recommend an Aebersold book to get, I got the catalogue and I'm a little bewildered as what I should go for. I have Volume 1, but I'm looking for something with some standard charts to help my playing changes (should I go for the rythmn changes one?)

Also, PH, do you remember a little guy called Henry Amburg-Jennings from the London course last year? He's a friend of mine, and an awesome player for his age.
