Jazz Band

“And when a damp fell round the path of Milton, in his hand

The thing became a trumpet; whence he blew

Soul-animating strains, —alas! Too few”

 

                 - - William Wordsworth (1770-1850)  

JAZZ INFO:

♪ All Jazz Band members should all have a copy of "The New Real Book" (2nd edition), available at most local music stores. Purchase the book required for the key of the instrument you play....For example, a trumpet player would purchase the book in the key of B-flat.  We will be working out of this book almost exclusively, and students will need to have a book to practice from.

♪ All guitarists/bassists should own a chord chart book...contact me for details.

♪ All musicians should be bringing jazz literature home weekly to practice.
