The Associated Board's Jazz syllabus is a comprehensive introduction to the world of jazz. A pioneering set of publications and a structured learning programme provide the building blocks needed to play jazz with imagination, understanding and style and to improvise effectively right from the start.
The AB Real Book is a unique jazz resource. It is an exciting compilation for all jazz musicians but is specifically conceived for less experienced players. It contains lead sheets for a hundred tunes together with specially commissioned arrangements, including those for Level/Grade 4 or 5 exams for jazz clarinet, sax (alto/tenor), trumpet and trombone.
Includes an impressive range of jazz styles, from New Orleans to contemporary.
All Tunes are suitable for less experienced players, with pitch range, chords and technical level carefully considered. Tunes are in their most commonly played keys, with reliable melodies and chord changes.
Arrangements are by jazz arrangers and include sections for improvised solos, with helpful guideline pitches. Arrangements included on the syllabus have minus-one backing tracks, available on a separate CD.
A resource for bands and individuals, this book comes in Bb, Eb, C treble clef and C bass clef editions.
