Arthur Pryor
SOLOS FOR TROMBONE
for Trombone and Piano

Arthur Pryor (1870-1942) was one of the best-known trombonists and bandsmen of his day. Trombone soloist for John Philip Sousa's celebrated band beginning in 1892, he later functioned as assistant conductor of the Sousa band (1894-1903) before starting his own ensemble. His more than 300 compositions include novelty tunes, ragtime pieces and operettas, but of course he is best remembered today for his virtuosic solos for his own instrument. This new book collects eight of his most popular solos in one volume and includes Blue Bells of Scotland, Fantastic Polka, The Little Chef (Polka Caprice), Love's Enchantment (Valse de Concert), Thoughts of Love and more. This is a book every trombonist will want to have in his or her library.

A NEW WAY OF GROOVIN’
Combining Jazz and Rumba for a New Sound on the Drumset
by Ignacio Berroa

Author of the highly successful Groovin’ in Clave (MU5), renowned Cuban Drummer Ignacio Berroa’s latest book with CD expands on the concepts introduced in the earlier book. The object this time is to integrate aspects of Jazz-Style drumming with the Afro-Cuban inflected rock and funk rhythms that were explored in Groovin’ in Clave. By combining elements from both books, the player will be able to move freely among several styles of music – Jazz, Rock, Funk and Latin – adding an exciting depth and variety to the playing by letting the musical styles be both separate and fused, depending on the musical situation and the drummer’s own inspiration. The CD is designed to demonstrate the various grooves in the book and includes play-along songs that give the player chances to use the grooves in context and become a part of a great sounding band.
