Greetings Everyone,

I am excited to share that I’ve got another book project in the works, and recently completed the first draft during my residency at the Ragdale Foundation earlier this month. While it’s still a little early to release too many details, I can confidently say that if you enjoyed Gettin It Done: Steve Davis’ Improvised Trombone Solos, you will definitely enjoy this project!

🚨New Year, New Book 🚨 - Gettin’ It Done: Steve Davis’ Improvised Trombone Solos

I’m excited to share the release of my latest book, Gettin’ It Done: Steve Davis’ Improvised Trombone Solos! It’s been a joy to work on this project and finally get it over the finish line and has been an absolute honor to work with one of my trombone idols in the process. 

Available Now In The Store!

Gettin’ It Done: Steve Davis’ Improvised Trombone Solos is a comprehensive collection of transcriptions featuring each of Steve Davis’ improvisations from his 2012 release, Gettin’ It Done. Including a foreword by Mr. Davis himself and all eight solo transcriptions, this book provides a unique look at Steve’s improvisational style, and an insightful perspective on the band, recording session, and album as a whole. “Making this record was a very special and personal experience,” Steve notes. “The band was comprised of my dearest, closest friends and musical collaborators. The resulting music from this session ranks among my very favorites that I have ever led, or played on as a sideman.”

Whether you are a trombonist, a student of jazz, or a hobbyist, this book is a must-have for your music library!

The Jazz Etude Series

I am excited to announce the launch of my new project, The Jazz Etude Series. Each etude is available in bass clef, C treble clef, B-flat treble clef, and E-flat treble clef, and is accompanied by a Notes and Concept sheet offering insight into the concepts utilized in each etude.

Learn more about the new project in the video below, and find the first etude, Some Things You’re Not , on the new Jazz Etude Series page of this website (available now for free).

Check back on the first and third Monday of each month for new jazz etudes!

New Jazz Transcriptions Coming Soon

Over the summer, I was sorting through some files on my computer and going through some old stacks of miscellaneous music when I found a bunch of jazz trombone transcriptions I had done and forgotten about. It will take a little time to clean them up and upload them to my website, but there are more transcriptions on the horizon. Stay tuned!
