In yet another extraordinary collection, James Campbell and his cohorts from the University of Kentucky present The Blue Book - Volume 3! Over forty composers (including Mr. Campbell himself) have contributed a total of 47 individual solos to this compilation which are ideal for contests, auditions, technique development, recitals, juries, or just for your musical enjoyment.

Solos cover a wide range in skill levels, from Med-Easy through Advanced, and clock in at over 2 hours of total material! Also, and for the first time ever, The Blue Book series includes solos for mallet keyboard and timpani.

Volume 3 of The Blue Book, as does both of its predecessors (The Blue Book and The Blue Book - Volume 2), represents several generations of students and alumni who have passed through the venerable percussion studies program at the University of Kentucky. All have gone on to enjoy successful careers as teachers, performers, and composers and represent their alma mater dutifully in this diverse collection of percussion solos!
