Chesky wrote two great books of Jazz & Rock rhythms for trumpet, but calling them rhythm books does them a bit of a disservice. These are fully fledged contemporary jazz/rock etudes that get you grooving and present you with a different challenge. Compared to Chesky's book 'Contemporary Jazz/Rock Rhythms' these are much more difficult, with harder keys, increased range and flexibility requirements, and much more taxing endurance wise.

Us, composed by Thad Jones in 1970 and originally recorded that same year, is one of the pieces which defined the new sound of the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra. While being one of the most successful, early melding of big band instrumentation with rock rhythms and rhythm section instruments, it also includes an a cappella chorus for the 'band' (for this version, read: trombones) and intricate saxophone lines which are challenging but very rewardingly playable. David Fletcher has done a magnificent job of translating the richness of Thad's voicings and the exuberance and spirit of this piece to the Trombone quintet plus rhythm section instrumentation of the University of Illinois Jazz Trombone Ensemble, who have performed it at both American Trombone Workshops and International Trombone Festivals. David Fletcher, a member of the award winning University of Illinois Jazz Trombone Ensemble under the direction of Jim Pugh arranged this great chart for Trombone Quintet and rhythm section. It is about 4 minutes in length and includes improvised jazz solos for Trombone 2 and Electric Guitar.
