Staff Jazz Duets for Trombone is a fun and musically rich addition to Erik Veldkamp’s Staff series, offering a fresh collection of swinging, in-staff trombone duets that build style, groove, and ensemble skills—all without venturing outside the comfortable middle register. These are not beginner duets—they’re cleverly written to challenge timing, articulation, and phrasing while staying playable for trombone players of all levels. You get full demo recordings performed by Erik Veldkamp himself on trumpet, so whether you’re working on jazz phrasing, learning to blend, or developing your time feel, these duets provide a fun, flexible, and professional-level way to build real musical skills. As a brass player, composer, and professor at the Amsterdam University of the Arts, Erik Veldkamp brings decades of experience and stylistic insight to this collection. With its engaging music, built-in flexibility, and high-quality recordings, Staff Jazz Duets is the perfect resource for lessons, individual practice, or performance prep—helping you swing, lock in, and sound great, all while staying in the staff.
