The music is written as three complete
programmable jazz ensemble compositions, each in a different jazz style.
Because they are not individual etudes for the various instruments, you
can rehearse the different instruments at the same time. There is also an
improv piece, which is playable with a full or limited instrumentation.
Score and Parts:
Parts included are 3 Saxes (ATB), 2 Trumpets, 2
Trombones, Bass Trombone, Guitar, Bass, Piano, and Drums.
All
audition parts are marked "For Audition."
Some parts are marked "Not for Audition." These are
included to provide you with a full instrumentation for performance
purposes, but should not be used by the students for All State Jazz Band
auditions.
All parts include detailed articulations,
phrasing, and dynamics.
Rhythm parts include written out notation
with suggested piano voicing and guitar fret board fingerings.
The
drum part is as you would normally find, but a "note for note" version is
also included so your students can see exactly how to play set-ups, kicks,
and fills in the various styles.
Audio CD:
This CD
contains a full performance of each
chart exactly as written, plus additional mixes for rehearsal in "music
minus one" format.
The CD also contains the audition cuts which your students
will use when they audition.
Finale/MIDI Files: This CD contains the
Finale files used to create the printed music. To open these files you
will need Finale 2003 or newer. (Both Windows and Mac versions are
included). Also included are the performances in standard MIDI format. Use
this disc to create custom practice loops for your students (i.e.
individual part and/or "music minus one" type part at a slower tempo) or
to replace lost originals.
Additional Audio CDs:
You are free to copy any of the included
materials for your school's use, but if you don't want to hassle with
copying CDs, just order as many as you need.
Most Frequently
asked question: Why isn't the music available
digitally?
We are a super small business. We sell at most
80-90 sets per year. "Going digital" (with licensing codes,
digital hosting web fees, etc.) would increase our costs and yours
substantially. To avoid that, we will continue to distribute the
music the old fashioned way.
