Trombone Etudes With Modern Harmonies
I use Cimera, Rochut, Arban, and Kopprash as part of my daily routine. Are there any etude books you can recommend with more contemporary harmony? Not looking to replace but to add onto what I'm currently doing.
Thanks,
Michael

I enjoy Brad Edwards' books as a source of variety. "The Melodious Trombone" has some harmonic adventures in it.

Maybe Bitsch, but also rhythmically more advanced.

Re: Trombone Etudes With Modern Harmonies
Vining Range Studies is somewhat more modern than Rochut. Aharoni bass bone books make use of different pop styles. laFosse school of sight reading and style have short etudes with varying degrees of modernity. And of course Marcel Bitsch book is extremely modern rhythmically. JJ Johnson put out a book of etudes. Bone Kill by Michael Davis is modern jazz idiom etudes.
It kind of depends on what you mean by modern - modern classical or jazz?

Alice Jones - Etudes for Trombonists
https://www.alicehjones.com/etudes-for-trombonists.html
A wonderful book. Some of the most challenging and most beautiful stuff I have seen written for our instrument.

Re: Trombone Etudes With Modern Harmonies
I would suggest Brad Edwards's "Lip Slur Melodies" - in addition to being unique because all of the slurs are written to be played as natural slurs, the book does include more modern harmonies, especially as you get into it a bit. Also check out Tommy Pederson's books, whichever you can find in print. If you are looking for more jazz harmonies, check out the jazz etude books by Jack Gale and by Jim Snidero (the Jazz Conception series). The French books like Bitsch, Boutry and Bozza and the Alice Jones book are another level of difficulty above most of what you listed, but they're all awesome. Charlier's book might be easier than those to start with.
Finally, if it's jazz harmonies that you are looking for, play songs from the various fake books out there! Plenty to play there, and you can play them with others or with playalong tracks to really hear the harmonies.

Tommy Petersons etudes and duos are quite tricky in modern harmonics, and fun to play when mastered. I can spend weeks one one or two befor they run smoothly.
