Jazz standards make up the bulk of a jazz musician’s repertoire and provide the chord changes and song structures that form the basis for improvisation. If you haven’t yet learnt some of the more popular requested standards, chances are you’re headed straight for a train wreck, or even worse, you’ll be SHOT on stage by the pros! In this new series from Erik Veldkamp, he is taking you on a tour of the top 50 Jazz Standards that everyone should be familiar with, using new adaptations for two trumpets and the vehicle of this exploration.

These duets are inventive, challenging, and EXTREMELY fun. In fact, Erik recorded a handful of these so people could get a feeling for how creative they are, and I have attached three duets from this collection below. You can click play while you follow along with the samples to the left. When you are ready, click above for an immediate digital download.
