Jazz Philharmonic is a pedagogically sequenced collection of original jazz melodies, great for beginning players or more experienced players looking to learn jazz. Each song includes a melody line, an accompaniment line, and a more advanced solo part. Not only do these different lines give developing students a good way to slowly learn a piece, they also make using this collection with small ensembles very easy. Players can take turns with the solo part and playing backup on the melody or accompaniment. An accompaniment CD is available separately, which can be very useful in practicing improvisation on your own.
