KJOSStandard Of Excellence for Jazz Ensemble 1st Trombone
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Single 1st trombone part book from KJOS's Standard of Excellence jazz ensemble series. For the player sitting in the top trombone chair.
Strong match
Who this is for
- School jazz band directors stocking the trombone section
- The player assigned lead trombone in an ensemble
- Replacing a lost or worn part mid-season
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Solo practice — parts are written to be played with a band
- Players needing the 2nd trombone chair's written notes
- Anyone wanting a full score of all instruments
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Single-part book
One instrument's music only. Each chair in your section needs its own copy.
Detail 03
Jazz ensemble scoring
Written for a full big band setting, so the part assumes other horns and a rhythm section are present.
Detail 04
Entry-level series
Aimed at players newer to jazz ensemble playing rather than advanced college or professional charts.
Detail 05
$15.99 per part
Outfitting a four-trombone section means buying four separate books, not one.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm the chair assignment — 1st and 2nd trombone are different books
- 02Score and all other instrument parts are purchased separately
- 03Paper book — no case or binder, so a folder helps it survive a season
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this include the conductor score?
No. This is the 1st trombone part on its own. The score and every other instrument's part are separate purchases.
02What's the difference between 1st and 2nd trombone?
1st is the top voice in the section and generally sits higher in the range. 2nd covers the harmony below it. Different books, different notes.
03Can bass trombone use this?
It's written for the 1st chair, the highest trombone part. A bass trombonist would normally read a lower part instead.
04Do I need one copy per player?
Yes. Each player reads from their own book, so a section with two players on 1st trombone needs two copies.
