Full Version: Small Jazz Band Repertoire
Forums > ABRSM > Jazz

We have a very small Jazz band, average ability gd5-6 (3 tpts, 2 tmbnes, 1 alto, 1 tenor, decent rhythm section). We have played all of the ABRSM Jazz ensemble stuff in the first book, but the second book is beyond them at the moment. The excellent Stainer and Bell Small Band Jazz series is excellent, but we've been through most of those books and we're on the lookout for new repertoire.

Anyone point me in the right direction?

You almost have enough musicians here to get into jazz big band material, a couple more saxes and you'd be fine. Check out the Hal Leonard web site and look through the jazz ensemble section. Also be sure to check out Kendor Music online. Both easy enough to find via google. Send me a PM i may be able to send you one or two charts to get you started.
