32 Jazz Standard Duets for Trumpet, Trombone & Rhythm Section

Learning jazz standards is essential for every musician, but mastering melodies, harmonies, and phrasing takes time. With Jazz Standard Duets, Erik Veldkamp has created an innovative new way to internalize 32 essential jazz standards while improving ensemble playing, phrasing, and harmonic awareness. This collection is designed with flexibility in mind, allowing musicians to play in a variety of configurations. Whether performed as two trumpets, two trombones, or a combination of trumpet and trombone, each duet is arranged to work seamlessly in any pairing. The music can be played with or without piano and rhythm section, making it perfect for practice sessions, jazz combo performances, or even casual jam sessions. To provide the most comprehensive experience, Jazz Standard Duets includes three books: one with trumpet 1 and 2 parts, one with trombone 1 and 2 parts, and a piano lead sheet book with chord symbols for rhythm section accompaniment. These arrangements not only help players get the melodies under their fingers but also train their ears to hear the chord changes in a more intuitive way. Whether you’re a student building your repertoire or a seasoned performer looking for engaging duet material, this collection is a fun and interactive way to explore jazz standards while strengthening your musicianship.
