Odd Meter Escapades for Trumpet

Odd Meter Escapades for Trumpet by Chris Kase is appropriate for high school through professional trumpet players.


Challenge your ability to play in unusual time signatures! Odd Meter Escapades features fourteen jazz etudes in meters such as 5/4, 7/4, 9/4, and 11/4, together with a play-along CD which includes rhythm section accompaniments and performances by the author.

The studies in this book borrow their harmonies from well-known jazz standards—occasionally with interesting, re-harmonized twists. They often contain quotes of the original melodies, and sometimes include phrases inspired by some of your favorite jazz soloists.
