Art Farmer, one of the most admired - and imitated - jazz trumpet/flugelhorn players of his day, brings the full weight of his experience to bear on these carefully crafted excercises designed to develop technical mastery of diatonic, augmented, and diminished scale patterns. Drills for mouthpice practice, warm-ups, lip and tongue slurs, and pedal tones are also included. The value of this book is enhanced by the inclusion of transcriptions of four of Farmer's solos: 'Manha do Carnaval', 'Alone Together', 'It Don't Mean A Thing', and 'Love you Madly', as well as a complete discography of Farmer's recordings.
