"Eric is a marvelous trumpet player and knows his jazz theory inside out. He was a tremendous help at my Summer Jazz Workshops. Great transcriber, too."

Joey Tartell

“Eric’s books are an invaluable tool for growth as an improviser. The transcriptions are fantastic, but it’s the biographies, interviews, and notes on each solo that give real context and insight into the art and the artist.”
