This fantastic book of 50+ solos for trumpet is right in the meaty part of intermediate difficulty. The solos all include chord progressions so you can collaborate with your favorite piano or guitar player (and rhythm section), and they cover the full gamut of styles and eras.

With such a wide swath of tunes to choose from, I guarantee that any player of any age will find tunes they recognize and can get started playing right away. Start with Ragtime with Joplin’s The Entertainer, then move on to Give My Regards to Broadway, songs like I Left My Heart In San Francisco, jazz standards like Satin Doll, and many many more.

To give you an idea of what you are in for, I have put representative samples to the left and itemized the full song list below, and above you can grab an immediate digital download.
