Composed by Peter Blair. Warm-Ups. Jazz Gateway Series Grade 1.5. Warm-up Set. Score and Parts. Kendor Music Inc #GJK2307. Published by Kendor Music Inc (KN.GJK2307).

12 x 9 inches.

This unique set of 17 warm-up pieces for the young Jazz Ensemble covers the essential rhythmic and harmonic elements found in two styles of Jazz: even eighth note (such as Latin Rock) and Swing music. After the initial two legato warm-ups, the music is divided into four sections: Even eighth note examples in B flat, Swing examples in B flat, even eighth note examples in F and Swing examples in F. Each exercise builds on the previous example so younger jazz students will be introduced to essential rhythms and phrases in a well-sequenced method. The rhythm section parts are carefully crafted to allow maximum flexibility for each player. All the Warm-ups are designed to work at a variety of tempos and with various dynamic shadings, so each one can be used in a multitude of ways.

A sweet, melodic, light bossa nova - with a bite!

Sorenson says: I composed this melody the following day, as I rested my sore back. Flexible orchestration allows it to be played by as few as 9 players. Additionally, everyone in the ensemble has an opportunity to improvise in the open solo section, and the set includes two suggested solos and a CD with a solo practice track, to facilitate successful improvisation.
