"... the unusual idea of arranging for solo instrument and piano, music that was originally for keyboard alone .... and very successful it is too .... an imaginative addition of beautiful music to our instrument's repertoire" Reviewed 'The Trombonist'

Six pieces grades 2 - 5. Also available in Bass clef This is the Treble clef book.
The title Badinage suggests light-hearted banter and although these six contrasting pieces are moderately easy, they rely on the interaction of soloist and piano rather than simply melodies with accompaniments. They encourage the player to listen to the accompaniment and consider aspects such as balance and imitation. The pieces are ideal for concert performance as well as providing enjoyable study material that may later be used in examinations.

There are many wonderful jazz play-along books and recordings currently available. My motivation in writing Blues & Greens was to create a unique new play-along book using fundamental jazz forms, and filling these with original material that is easily accessible and fun to play. I used various rhythmic styles to add the elements of challenge and entertainment. The harmonic material is quite simple, but contains enough chord movement to make each solo section appealing. Use these pieces to enhance your ability to incorporate interesting notes into your improvisation with ease, and to practice following the form of the solo sections.
Six of the eight compositions are linked by title to the theme of Blues & Greens. Cerulean is based on the Latin word ‘caeruleum’ (‘blue, blueish’), which is derived from ‘caelum’ meaning ‘sky’, and refers to several different shades of the color blue. Mizuna is a type of green salad leaf.
Practicing with play-along books can be a lot of fun. We think you’ll enjoy Blues & Greens too! So get your horn, put on this CD, Keep Your Shirt On and Jazz It Up!
Allen Vizzutti
While growing up in Montana, Allen Vizzutti was taught by his father, a self-taught musician and trumpet player, until he left home to attend the Eastman School of Music. There he earned a Bachelor of Music, Master of Music, a Performer’s Certificate, a chair in the faculty brass quintet, and the only Artist’s Diploma ever awarded a wind player in Eastman’s 80-year history.
While living in Los Angeles during the 80s, Vizzutti performed on 100 motion picture soundtracks and countless TV shows. Equally at home in a multitude of musical idioms, he has visited 30 countries and every state in the union to perform with a rainbow of artists and ensembles, from Chick Corea and Doc Severinsen to the Kosei Wind Orchestra. He has performed as a classical and jazz soloist all over the world. Vizzutti has also made many solo recordings.
From his home base in Seattle, Washington, Vizzutti’s current career thrust is an impressive schedule of recitals, concerts, and composing. His continued commitment to education and the value of music in everyday life results each year in an extensive schedule of guest appearances at universities throughout Europe, Japan, Australia, Canada, and the United States in both jazz and classical idioms.
As Artist in Residence, Vizzutti has taught at various schools and universities. Vizzutti’s love of expression through composition has led to world premiere performances by major American orchestras and other prominent ensembles.
Graded studies for trombone, grades 5 - 6. Medium - difficult. Available in Treble or Bass clef. This is the TREBLE CLEF VERSION
"... Issues explored include intervals, irregular metres and phrase lengths, contrasting articulations and dynamics, and the longer slide positions .... students could learn something from them; having a true composer’s imagination behind something as mundane as a study yields real benefits - these short pieces are more than just exercises" Reviewed ‘The Trombonist’
