   Scotty Barnhart "In Town"

 

THE WORLD OF JAZZ TRUMPET - 
A Comprehensive History & Practical Philosophy
Publisher: Hal Leonard
Author: Scotty Barnhart

Acclaimed (J)azz trumpet soloist Scotty Barnhart examines political, social and musical conditions that led to the creation of (J)azz as America's premier art form. He traces the many factors that enabled freed slaves and their descendants to merge the blues, gospel, classical marches, and African rhythms to create a timeless and profound art that, since its inception, circa 1900, continues to have a major impact on all music. The World of Jazz Trumpet is a must-have study of the (J)azz trumpet for students, instructors, and professional musicians, as well as for anyone who appreciates the genre. Readers will appreciate Barnhart's personal and professional connection to a major part of American and world history. This book fills a major void in the world of (J)azz education as well as in general music education. With entries on 800 trumpeters, it is destined to become required reading in colleges, schools and homes around the world.
