Trombone Mechanisms and More by Donald S. Reinhardt, David Gornston and Dick Getz: A Streamlined School of Technique Designed to Meet the Ever-Increasing Instrumental Demands of Modern Music

As both a player and composer, Rich Willey is firmly rooted in the jazz tradition. His trumpet and bass trumpet playing draw upon the wellspring of bebop with a contemporary freshness; brash and forceful, but also lyrical and warm. His compositions and arrangements are thoughtful and substantial, yet always accessible and listenable, combining a solid sense of swing with an overriding concern for melody. Donald S. Reinhardt was an American trombonist and brass teacher. He authored several books for brass players, including the Pivot System for Trumpet and Trombone: A Complete Manual With Studies and the Encyclopedia of the Pivot System.
