This is the first comprehensive study of the trombone in English.
It covers the instrument, its repertoire, the way it has been
played, and the social, cultural, and aesthetic contexts within
which it has developed. The book explores the origins of the
instrument, its invention in the fifteenth century, and its story
up to modern times, also revealing hidden aspects of the trombone
in different eras and countries. The book looks not only at the
trombone within classical music but also at its place in jazz,
popular music, popular religion, and light music. Trevor Herbert
examines each century of the trombone's development and details the
fundamental impact of jazz on the modern trombone. By the late
twentieth century, he shows, jazz techniques had filtered into the
performance idioms of almost all styles of music and transformed
ideas about virtuosity and lyricism in trombone playing.
