In 1992, Steve Sonntag recorded Take Twelve--- A Dozen Jazz Duets, with Steve playing both parts. A review of this recording  was printed in the International Trumpet Guild Journal in February, 1995, written by John Entzi, of Northwest Missouri State University:
 

"This book of treble clef duets is written for intermediate to advanced players and works very well for trumpets. The author lists general notes at the beginning. These are helpful, as he gives common sense advise about his book and music. The best remarks concern the patterning of these duets after standard jazz chord progressions. The performance notes list very specific remarks concerning each duet. Attention is given to metronome marks, forms of the tunes and the chord progression from which each duet is derived. 

I enjoyed playing the variety of jazz styles offered in these duets. The styles varied from jazz waltz, blues, AABA forms to whole-tone and "Lombardo-esque" sections. I strongly encourage everyone to order the accompaniment cassette when buying this book. The cassette will help you with all the musical aspects of these duets, and be an incentive for the players.

These duets are more suited for advanced players. Each selection is very readable, numbered and copied in a neat manuscript. The collection is a nice addition to the jazz duet repertoire. We will all have fun playing and performing Take Twelve."

Take Twelve--- A Dozen Jazz Duets can be purchased for $15.00. It is now available in C, Bb, Eb and Bass clef, and can be found in finer music stores throughout the USA. It can be ordered from Jamey Aebersold Jazz, Inc., or directly from the publisher at:
