In The World of Jazz Trumpet - A Comprehensive History and Practical Philosophy acclaimed jazz trumpet soloist Scotty Barnhart examines the political, social and musical conditions that led to the creation of jazz as America's premier art form. He traces the many factors that enabled freed slaves and their descendants to merge the blues, gospel, classical marches, and African rhythms to create a timeless and profound art that, since its inception, circa 1900, continues to have a major impact on all music. The World of Jazz Trumpet is a must-have study of the jazz trumpet for students, instructors, and professional musicians, as well as for anyone who appreciates the genre. Readers will appreciate Barnhart's personal and professional connection to a major part of American and world history. This book fills a major void in the world of jazz education as well as in general music education. With entries on 800 trumpeters, it is destined to become required reading in thousands of colleges, schools and homes around the world. It includes interviews with fifteen of the greatest jazz trumpeters in history including Freddie Hubbard, Clark Terry, Maynard Ferguson, Sweets Edison, and Wynton Marsalis, with Hubbard and Terry writing the foreword. It also features the very first chapter ever written on women jazz trumpeters.
Jazz vocal legend Tony Bennett calls it "an extremely valuable work”.
