[Trombone-l] Also Sprach Arnold Jacobs

[Bill Dinwiddie]

Just got an e-mail from Polymnia Press (German) advertising their new 
publication: "Also Sprach Arnold Jacobs: A Developmental Guide for Brass 
Wind Musicians"  by Bruce Nelson (English edition)

"In addition to being a world-class musician, Arnold Jacobs undoubtedly was 
the most influential brass teacher of the second  half of the twentieth 
cerntury. Countless wind musicians from all over  the  world travelled to 
Chicago  to study with this master. Additionally, Mr. Jacobs also gave 
master classes that were  popular with students, teachers and professionals 
worldwide. It  would be impossible to reduce to  writing all of the advice 
Arnold Jacobs gave to thousands of students over a period of almost 70 
years. Nevertheless, Also Sprach Arnold Jacobs is an attempt to pre-serve by 
topic, the  most common  ideas and variations of those ideas from which so 
many musicians have benefited. Bruce Nelson´s book comes in six chapters. 
Each chapter deals with one central aspect of brass playing"
