Big band parts to practice

Post by tedthetrumpet »

This might be a cheeky enquiry, I hope I don't get banned!

I'm looking for practice material on my journey from jazz trumpet player to jazz trombonist. I was thinking it would be good to have a go at some big band parts. I used to lead a couple of college big bands, so I have copies of various full charts, but not the parts: not great, trying to practice from the score.

I thought about copying some of the parts to practice, then I thought… wait a minute. Maybe some kind person here happens to have a selection of scanned big band trombone parts that they might be willing to share privately?

I'd be happy to have a go at anything as long as it is not too hard. Not so much contemporary stuff: anything by Kenton or Basie would be good, or classic swing era parts. Salsa/latin would be fine as well.

Thanks!
