Tribute to William Adam Method Book - His Teachings & His Routine - Treble Clef Print EditionCollected and Compiled by Charley Davis William Adam, the legendary trumpet pedagogue from Indiana University, left an indelible mark on generations of brass players. Often reduced to buzzwords like “the Adam Routine” or “the Method,” his approach has been misunderstood by many as rigid or overly repetitive. This book sets the record straight. Compiled by Charley Davis and written entirely by Adam’s former students, The William Adam Tribute offers a nuanced, inside look at the man, his philosophy, and the musical principles that guided his teaching. More than a collection of exercises, this 100-page volume explores how and why the materials were used, shedding light on the artistry, awareness, and spirit behind each note. Filled with personal stories, biographical context, and detailed instruction, this tribute brings readers into the room with Mr. Adam—where tone was everything, and every lesson was a lesson in life. Includes contributions from: Robert J. Baca, Gary Cordell, Diane Davis-Deckard, John Harbaugh, Larry Hall, Jerry Hey, Phil Jordan, James O’Banion, Dr. Karl Sievers, Robert Slack, Dr. George Tsoutsouris, and Gregory Wing. 100 pages, coil-bound for ease of use on the stand or in the studio. A must-have for anyone who wants to understand William Adam’s legacy—not just as a teacher, but as a mentor, musician, and master of sound.

The F cup is an all around, easy to play flugelhorn cup that gets a good, rich flugelhorn sound combined with ease of playing. FE The FE cup is a good option for jazz and big band players that want a darker sound than the F. It has a solid core but provides more breadth in the sound for solo playing. DF The DF cup is designed for European-style brass band playing and for classical settings such as brass quintet, solo literature, and off-stage orchestral parts. HF Our warmest, darkest sounding cup available. Great for playing in the staff on ballads and smooth jazz, it is not recommended for extended upper register work.

Unleash your creativity and master the full range of your instrument with the BOOM★ trumpet mouthpiece by Bob Reeves Brass. About Dan Rosenboom Dan Rosenboom is an internationally recognized trumpet player, composer, and producer. He is known as a prolific member of the Los Angeles creative music scene, having released more than 25 albums of original music as a solo artist and bandleader and has supported over 60 artists across nearly 90 releases on his label, Orenda Records. Rosenboom frequently performs in Hollywood Studios for major film and television soundtracks, highlighted by the latest Star Wars trilogy, with such notable composers as John Williams, Danny Elfman, James Newton Howard, Alan Silvestri, and Alexandre Desplat. He has also performed often with such elite ensembles as the LA Philharmonic, the LA Chamber Orchestra, and the LA Opera. His own music eschews genre distinctions and draws from such disparate influences as jazz and Black American Music, metal and experimental rock, contemporary classical music, folk music from around the globe, and a broad range of progressive music from the avant-garde. He studied at the Eastman School of Music, CalArts, and UCLA, where he earned advanced degrees in music. The Los Angeles Times has called Dan Rosenboom “a musician dedicated to exploration and expression, regardless of anyone’s imagined boundaries,” and “a phenomenon.” As a composer, Rosenboom has been recognized with grants and awards from the American Composers Forum, ASCAP, the Meet the Composer Foundation, and the Yvar Mikhashoff Trust for New Music. As a bandleader, he has brought his music to such renowned stages as the Monterey Jazz Festival, Angel City Jazz Festival, Jazzfestival Saalfelden and Jazz em Agosto. Working closely with LA icon Vinny Golia, and with his own Balkan jazz-rock group PLOTZ!, and improv band DR. MiNT, as well as many other projects, Rosenboom has solidified his place as a pillar in LA’s music community. Rosenboom’s iconoclastic protest band Burning Ghosts has drawn international attention for their rousing blend of experimental jazz, punk, and metal as response to modern socio-political ills. To date they have released four albums, including one on John Zorn’s legendary Tzadik label, and have toured in the US and Europe. In a review of their self-titled debut, Something Else Reviews dubbed them “the Rage Against the Machine of jazz.” Rosenboom is an advocate for progressive music education. He currently teaches at UCLA and Pasadena City College, and his own pedagogy book, The Boom Method: Universal Fundamentals for Trumpet and Other Instruments, Vol. 1, was published by Balqhuidder Music in 2019. His writing has also been published in John Zorn’s Arcana IX: Musicians on Music on Tzadik.
