As a high school jazz director and trumpet player, I can’t believe that I have just now stumbledd upon your website. What an amazing resource! I have a request….more turnound licks. As an educator I struggle to teach turnarounds just because they go by so fast. Licks are a great way to bridge that gap. Thank you again!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, I’m really impressed wuth tour site. You actually teach much of the kibds of lick I learnt and you recommend practising in all keys which is THE important thing. I have also found practising the bebop scale like modes works well, up and down for two octaves in one breath. Keep up the good work.

I got a similar question to this one that I answered at the Jazz Trumpet Forum, click here for a few Jazz Improv book recommendations. Glad you like the site.

I’m a 64 year old trumpet player. played professionally for 45 years. my weakness is playing good jazz. recently had an accident and have nothing but time for another year. found your page very helpful. in music,one can always improve. can you suggest a good book which can show me trumpet licks and the explanation behind them? thanks for taking the time to read this. I’m no longer a young musician but am interested in improving my craft. John Bittelari
