Book excerpt: Finally...after years of musical training, and countless hours of practicing his instrument, the dutiful trumpet player is ready to begin the performance. But wait! Unforeseen circumstances are about to wreak havoc during this musical 'gig.' Can you imagine trying to play your trumpet while stepping in some horse-hockey, or having some slippery seals splash water all over you, or swallowing a cicada as you go to blow your horn? How about getting slapped by a tipsy dancing party guest, falling off of a rickety stage, or having to change into your tuxedo in a fast-food restaurant bathroom? Dozens of uproarious situations like these occur in "Memoirs of a Trumpet Player." This is the anticipated sequel to the hysterical "Memoirs of a Trumpet Teacher," and it chronicles the humorous adventures of a professional trumpet player trying to carve out his career. So, enjoy your musical journey, but be careful: you may encounter a lion roaring in the dark right next to your head, or someone may even shoot a hole in the bass drum!

Book excerpt: Bill Coleman was one of the most important jazz trumpeters of the swing era. Born in France in 1909, he moved to New York in 1927. Over the next few years he made his name playing with many of the top bandleaders, including Luis Russell, Benny Carter and Fats Waller. In 1935 he returned to France and performed with Lucky Millinder. He spent the war years in New York, playing with, among others, Andy Kirk, Mary Lou Williams, Sy Oliver and Billy Kyle, before returning to Paris in 1941 to lead his own band. Bill Coleman toured widely and the book contains fascinating anecdotes about his trips to India, Egypt, the Philippines and Japan. He died in 1981 and Trumpet Story was published in French in that year.

Book excerpt: "Supremely humane.... Kay leaves us with a broad landscape of sweet tolerance and familial love." —The New York Times Book Review In her starkly beautiful and wholly unexpected tale, Jackie Kay delves into the most intimate workings of the human heart and mind and offers a triumphant tale of loving deception and lasting devotion. The death of legendary jazz trumpeter Joss Moody exposes an extraordinary secret, one that enrages his adopted son, Colman, leading him to collude with a tabloid journalist. Besieged by the press, his widow Millie flees to a remote Scottish village, where she seeks solace in memories of their marriage. The reminiscences of those who knew Joss Moody render a moving portrait of a shared life founded on an intricate lie, one that preserved a rare, unconditional love.

A seminal figure in postwar jazz, Baker started his career in army bands, before meeting Charlie Parker and moving into the world of jazz, and the establishment of the infamous California Cool scene of the 1950s. His reticent interpretation of My Funny Valentine brought him instant fame, but by the 1960s his drug addiction had put his career on the line. Back fron the brink in the 1970s and 1980s, he reinvented himself and was the subject of the Bruce Weber documentary, Let's Get Lost, in 1987. He died in mysterious circumstances in 1988.

Book excerpt: Compelling from cover to cover, this is the story of one of the most recorded and beloved jazz trumpeters of all time. With unsparing honesty and a superb eye for detail, Clark Terry, born in 1920, takes us from his impoverished childhood in St. Louis, Missouri, where jazz could be heard everywhere, to the smoke-filled small clubs and carnivals across the Jim Crow South where he got his start, and on to worldwide acclaim. Terry takes us behind the scenes of jazz history as he introduces scores of legendary greats—Ella Fitzgerald, Oscar Peterson, Dizzy Gillespie, Dinah Washington, Doc Severinsen, Ray Charles, Thelonious Monk, Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, Coleman Hawkins, Zoot Sims, and Dianne Reeves, among many others. Terry also reveals much about his own personal life, his experiences with racism, how he helped break the color barrier in 1960 when he joined the Tonight Show band on NBC, and why—at ninety years old—his students from around the world still call and visit him for lessons.

Book excerpt: A must-read for music lovers and musicians alike, "Autobiography of a Jazz Trumpeter" is the story of Tracey D. Hooker and his journey from the innocence of his boyhood home in rural Vermont to becoming a Grammy Award winning trumpeter, music teacher and bandleader. Travel with him around the world during his 22-year career as a trumpeter with the U.S. Navy Music Program experiencing adventure, camaraderie, friendships and insights that develop as a part of the triumphs and failures in his life. Become part of "the gig" when, as Hooker describes it, "At some point in the evening the process of reciprocity begins to develop. Shared energy between the audience and the performers becomes evident. Your lover, your companion, your mistress is the music you've dedicated your life to. With the etudes, scales, the countless hours of practice, you can finally express your emancipated soul in total freedom." Music is transformative and Hooker describes from the inside out how one unknown trumpeter found healing through a life as a jazz musician.

Book excerpt: How do you measure the days of your life? As one of the finest trumpeters in the field, Cecil Welch measures his life with music, and rewinds the years to share with you the encouragement that there are no mistakes as your own individual journey unfolds. No experience is wasted and no opportunity is void as the steps of time lead you to the people and places that will cast the mold for your memories. "I recall a hot humid evening in July, 1976. As a member of the Atlanta Symphony trumpet section, I was honored to perform under the baton of Henry Mancini, world-renowned film and television composer. As the maestro turned to acknowledge the thunderous applause of a sold out amphitheater, and the orchestra prepared for the downbeat of 'Peter Gunn, ' Mr. Mancini's lead and solo trumpeter invited me to play the upcoming solo in his stead. Little did I suspect that my performance would be the launching of an 18-year contract with the master of melody." From the days of practicing scales in the basement to touring the world as a concert stage performer, Welch revisits various decisions and non-decisions that charted the direction of his life, from the business world with a Georgia Tech degree to principal trumpet and soloist for Academy Award winning film composer Henry Mancini

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transport back to the early sixties, where attitudes have become somewhat liberated and there was a ‘trad jazz boom’. Although semi-autobiographical, Ask for Blues has been written as a novel, spanning 1957 to 1964. It traces a young Martin’s discovery of and captivation by jazz at fifteen, and how sheer determination made him a talented multi-instrumentalist just seven years later. Through Martin and his friends, the book also accurately portrays what it was like to be a young man growing up in those post-war years just before the swinging sixties. While most musical biographies read strictly chronologically, some of the events in Ask for Blueshave been placed in an order that makes for a better story, although everything, including the encounters with well-known musicians, happened as described. Music is an essential part of the narrative, and is woven between memories of places and venues, pubs and drinking sessions, society norms and how Martin is expected to ‘behave’ - though thanks to two influential friends, it isn’t long before he discovers the joys of totally irresponsible behaviour. In parallel, the book chronicles Martin’s developing sexual awareness as he progresses from shy late-starter to a man with a distinctly cavalier attitude towards women, a perspective that consequently puts relationships behind his absorption with music, to his eventual cost.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Morris (Moe) Miller's Musician's Memoir (mmmmm ? tasty) includes a cast of characters, most of whom are long gone: up there somewhere in the sky, acting, dancing, singing, or playing in an orchestra or big band. Miller speaks for them, to them, and about them. His account includes thumbnail sketches of colleagues and personal interactions with sound engineers, producers, and famous conductors, not to mention some of their foibles and idiosyncrasies. Born in Winnipeg, Canada, a chance event in his local bugle band brought about the beginning of his musical journey, and a future career as a professional brass player. In this slim volume, we have heaps of inside information, historical fact, unexpected sequences of events, and more than one smilet (Shakespeare) along the way. The author modestly claims that his Memoir is just a divertissement ? but it's much more than that. You are cordially invited to find out for yourself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dizzy Gillespie was one of the most important and best-loved musicians in jazz history. With his horn-rimmed glasses, goatee, jive talk, and upraised trumpet bell, he was the hipster who most personified bebop. The musical heir to Louis Armstrong, he created the modern jazz trumpet-playing style and dazzled aficionados and popular audiences alike for over 50 years. In this first full biography, Alyn Shipton covers all aspects of Dizzy's remarkable life and career, taking us through his days as a flashy trumpet player in the swing bands of the 1930s, his innovative bebop work in the 1940s, the worldwide fame and adoration he earned through his big band tours in the 1950s, and the many recordings and performances which defined a career that extended into the early 1990s. Along the way, Shipton convincingly argues that Gillespie--rather than Charlie Parker as is widely believed--had the greatest role in creating bebop, playing in key jazz groups, teaching the music to others, and helping to develop the first original bebop repertory. Shipton also explores the dark side of Dizzy's mostly sunny personal life, his womanizing, the illegitimate daughter he fathered and supported--now a respected jazz singer in her own right--and his sometimes needless cruelty to others. For anyone interested in jazz and one of its most innovative and appealing figures, Groovin' High is essential reading.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Okay...you now have your college degree in music education, and you're starting your first school band teaching job. But, are you really ready to deal with all of those things they didn't exactly teach you in college?Watch out: you may discover a mouse running around inside of a baritone, have a student pull out his own tooth to get out of a boring music class, or be given a half-eaten candy bar as a gift for Teacher Appreciation Week. And be careful: you might also encounter a clarinet reed that looks like Bart Simpson's hair, get spit on by a baseball player, or hurl over Niagara Falls! Here is the third book of Sam Bennett's hilarious musical "Memoirs" trilogy. Following "Memoirs of a Trumpet Teacher" (stories about teaching private trumpet lessons), and "Memoirs of a Trumpet Player" (tales of professional music performances), "Let's Go Band!" documents the humorous exploits that make up the running of a school band program. Sam even honors famous musicians by using their first names for some of his students, and that way the reader can imagine those musical icons as nine-year-old beginning band members. Enjoy your musical excursion, but take 'note: ' you could get smacked in the back of the head by a trombone slide, or have to climb an iron fence while precariously holding on to your trumpet---and wearing a tuxedo! So...come along for the ride and become a part of this all-inclusive musical group. And remember: no one sits on the bench in Band!
