Book Reviews of Prelude to Brass Playing
Book Review: Mendez speaks
Summary: 5 Stars
I remember my teacher, Pappy Mitchell, showing me this book back in the 1970's and I had wished I could find a copy of the original, hard-bound book - never did, but was so pleased to see this new edition.
They were contemporaries and played together in the movie studios.
Mendez was an amazing trumpet player and teacher - his musical excellence & perfection of technique has been rarely matched - There is a wonderful CD tribute to Mendez on Summit Records that I have really enjoyed (check that out as well, hosted by Doc Severinsen).
The book is a welcome conversation for new and continuing brass players - some wonderful insights into taming this 'beast' we call a horn.
Highly recommended for your library.
