Usually regarded as a ³lead² player, Dan Collette has well established himself as an internationally respected trumpeter. In this book and recording, he demonstrates another facet of his musical palette that of an educator. In a ³common sense² approach and playing in a variety of styles, Dan demonstrates and clearly explains his perspective of lead and section playing. This work should prove itself to be required listening and reading for all serious trumpet players. This is wonderful stuff Dan, bravo!
(Prof. Jiggs Whigham, International educator and trombone artist)
Dan Collette¹s book on lead and section trumpet playing is a very well thought out and extremely useful tool for all aspiring and professional trumpet players. The trumpet sectional ³quartets² by Steve Guttman are excellent and the execution of these ³etudes² on the CD as played by Dan Collette playing all 4 parts is flawless and nothing short of inspiring. Wonderful book Dan!
