Flow Studies with a Jazz Flavor for Bass Trombone by Ryan Haines is appropriate for all levels of trombone players.

Flow Studies with a Jazz Flavor for Bass Trombone teaches trombonists to effectively use their airflow through utilization of jazz-oriented figures, tonalities, phrasing, articulation, and styles. The etudes are based on jazz concepts and inspired by jazz standards, so players can develop their knowledge of jazz styles and learn to transpose motives through multiple key centers. These etudes are challenging and rewarding for all types of players -- classical and jazz alike.

"Good airflow, fluidity, and accuracy are a must for all great brass playing. A fast way to get there is working with this book. Highly recommended!" - Andy Martin, Los Angeles recording artist, Jazz Trombonist and Clinician

"Ryan Haines presents a clever variety of valuable exercises to help the student develop and improve airflow. I know of no other book like this one; it includes an excellent wide range of complexity and velocity.' - Tom Ervin, Professor of Trombone (Emeritus), University of Arizona
