“Tutti” For Five Trumpets (Opt. Rhythm Section) With Audio

After the success of his first Tutti volume for four trumpets, Erik Veldkamp expands the sound—and the ambition—with Tutti for Five Trumpets. This follow-up is a celebration of classic big band writing, featuring 24 high-impact, shout-style trumpet section pieces written for five trumpets, with optional rhythm section support. These are not simplified exercises or etudes—they are fully fleshed-out, professionally voiced section features, modeled on the styles of jazz icons like Thad Jones, Sammy Nestico, Oliver Nelson, and Count Basie. Each chart is a mini masterclass in balance, blend, range, articulation, phrasing, and the rhythmic vitality that defines tight trumpet section playing in a big band setting. Designed for live rehearsal or performance, Tutti for Five Trumpets is a non-play-along book that provides the tools for real-world ensemble experience. Whether you’re leading a college trumpet section, running a high school jazz band, or looking to bring some punch to a brass ensemble, this book is your ideal resource. In the samples you are getting a full Tutti for free, including the score and the audio file below. I guarantee once you hear it and try it for yourself, you will be clamouring for all 24 for these incredible pieces.   What’s Included: Five Trumpet Parts – Each tune comes with fully voiced, professionally arranged parts for Trumpets 1 through 5.
