Has anyone worked out of Eric Bolvin's The Modern Jazz Trumpet Method?
Thanks.

I really like Eric's material; I use his 'Flex on the Move' studies just about every day.
If I recall correctly, I had his Jazz Trumpet Method collection - and lost it in a move from Texas to Charleston. If I recall correctly, it had some nice warmups in the early excercises, and then a number of scales and runs that were oriented towards Jazz useage in the back of the book. A pity, it's been at least 4 years since I've seen it - and as meager as my info is, I wouldn't even bet on this... My memory is NOT as good as it used to be.
I'm hoping someone else will chip in - for our mutual benefit.

I have a few of Eric's books. Like Jonathan, I work Flex on the Move daily.
Typical of his books, The Modern Jazz Trumpet Method presents a lot of material and has a road-map to guide you through it at a reasonable pace.
I see the book as 102 pages of fundamentals (Scale Patterns, Arpeggios & Intervals). You work through them to get them under your fingers, then repeat until you have them in your back pocket.
An analogy would be memorizing a dictionary as part of learning a language.

I practice from it often. The book is broken down into four sections, each with 20 exercises: Scale patterns, arpeggios, intervals and range builders. There are also a couple of exercises at the end of the book on turns and false trills.
Bolvin offers advice regarding how to practice the exercises and connect the sections to get the most out of the material.
I find that books like this provide really useful alternative/supplementary practice material to the 19th century grand methods. |

Thanks guys. I got:
The Progressive Warm Up
The Modern Jazz Trumpet Methos
Flex On The Move
Getting bored with no extensions in my fundamentals. Bolvin looks interesting and pragmatic.
