Conrad Herwig has transcribed seven solos capturing the genius of jazz
trombonist Frank Rosolino, making excellent study for musicians of all
ages and ability. An accompanying compact disc preserves the actual recordings.
The fist of
twelve pages to the standard All The Things You Are showcases Rosolino's
style. As described by Herwig in the accompanying analysis, note the use
of sixteenth notes and triplets to vary the rhythm, rests and other inflections
(grace notes, scoops, fall-offs, glissandi) to add character.
After Frank's
death a scholarship was created in his name under the auspices of the International
Trombone Association. The net proceeds from this project are being donated
to the "Frank Rosolino Memorial Fund" and will be used to support the "Frank
Rosolino Memorial Scholarship" which, through an international competition,
identifies a young jazz trombonist each year and helps to jump start their
professional career. For additional information, contact the International
Trombone Association at http://www.ita-web.org/. |
