Erik Veldkamp has just completed an incredible series of books (the very first of its kind), written entirely with the flugelhorn in mind. These books include a series of etude books, a set of exercise books, duets, trios, and quartets.

This release “16 Quartets for Flugelhorn” is a great mix of tunes by the biggest names in 20th-century jazz, along with a few cracking new tunes by Erik Veldkamp himself. As far as I know there has never been a book of ensembles for flugelhorn ever written, let alone with such nuance and deft skill as these, they are absolutely incredible. You will get songs by Duke Ellington, Horace Silver, Benny Golson, Thad Jones, Miles Davis, Gerry Mulligan, Oliver Nelson, Dizzy Gillespie, and more.

A purchase of this set gets you one large 197-page PDF that has complete scores as well as parts for Flugelhorns 1, 2, 3 and 4. They are set for double-sided printing to give you a score and parts with good page turns, and are formatted beautifully for your tablet.

Below you can find some recordings of Erik performing some representative selections, and below that, you will find the full song list. Give it a listen with the sample pages to the left then grab an immediate PDF download above.
