Jazz Incorporated – Flute Book 2 (Book/CD)

Jazz Incorporated – Flute/Recorder With Audio CD Accompaniment – Book 2

Here is the second volume in the best selling series of unique graded contemporary pieces for wind and brass instruments. In addition to being excellent solos with piano accompaniment these pieces can be used effectively in a class teaching situation. Book 2also includes two trios and one duet – solo plus optional parts.

While primarily designed for solo performances, these pieces are versatile. They cater to a wide range of wind instruments, with parts available for Bb trumpet/clarinet/tenor sax, C flute/recorder, Eb alto sax, and bass clef trombone. Beyond individual renditions, they serve as ideal candidates for class teaching ensembles, offering a holistic learning experience.

A standout feature is the inclusion of chord symbols. These not only pave the way for integrating a rhythm section but also serve as an open invitation for musicians to venture into the world of improvisation, adding their own unique touch to the compositions.

Every piece in this book is meticulously curated, encompassing rich articulations, engaging phrasing, and ‘catchy’ melodies. Modern chord voicings and detailed performance notes further enhance the musical journey. From the rhythmic beats to the harmonic intricacies, the Jazz Incorporated series encapsulates a blend of traditional jazz techniques with contemporary styles, making it an invaluable asset for budding and seasoned musicians alike.
