The 24 Jazz Trombone Duets by Gene Zika are fun and refreshing to play. Written for intermediate level performers, having key signatures up to four flats and one sharp. Some of them have a bar or two of chorded improv solos to keep you on your toes. They all have catchy names like: Flea Bag, Rat Race Blues, etc. It's up to you to decide if the music has anything to do with the titles ... let us know!
Gene is a very talented comic book artist and the covers of his music are artwork in themselves.
Gene Zika has appeared in concert with the Four Freshman, Mel Torme, Milt Bernhardt, Lucy Ann Polk, Ray Charles, and Paul Horn. He performed with the big bands of Larry Elgart, Glenn Miller and John Carroll, and has recorded with the Stan Keller Orchestra. Mr. Zika also has 20 years of public school experience as a high school band, jazz ensemble, and string orchestra director.
