This highly versatile and flexible book will encourage and support students in their first explorations of jazz style and performance, whether in a jazz ensemble or a concert band setting.

Highlights include:
- TEN full charts in Rock, Latin, and Swing styles.

- RHYTHM STUDIES help players learn the rhythms used in each piece through clapping.

- UNISON SOLOS introduce young students to jazz soloing without requiring them to improvise.

- IMPROVISATION STARTERS included in the Director Score can be photocopied for students ready to improvise.

- TWO Drum set parts (traditional and simplified)

- TWO Guitar parts (melody and chorus)

- DIRECTOR SCORE includes CD with Rhythm Studies, Unison Solo Studies, and Complete Recordings of all the charts.
