Greetings everyone,

I'm looking for a book by a jazz trombonist that is accompanied by a tape in
which he sings jazz rhythms.

Alas I don't remember the trombonist's name, nor do I know the name of the
book/tape. He might be European, or he is an American who teaches swing feel
somewhere in Europe. (But it's not the magnificent Bob Brookmeyer, whose
name I would have recognized.)

My interest is in the conventions of how to play (articulate, phrase)
notation from things like Broadway shows or pop music and turn it into a big
band jazz performance.

I'm told that in the old days, big band members were handed the charts from
new Broadway shows and told to play in a jazz style. There were conventions
about when to play legato, when to play staccato, etc., that were know and
accepted within big bands.

If this rings any bells for anyone, I would greatly appreciate hearing from
you!

Thank you,

Karla Harby (flute player)
