n Developing the Language of JazzJonathan
Holford & Mike Carubia. Developing the Language
of Jazz is a unique and comprehensive warm-up
method and study that will have your jazz ensemble
reading and playing stylistically more correct after a
few 5 to 8 minute warm-up sessions. These simple,
concise, and straight forward studies not only help
students with the conceptual and stylistic difficulties
in the jazz style, but will also help both jazz savvy and
novice jazz educators convey these concepts to their
students. This insightful set of exercises primarily
uses the instructional technique of call (where the
exercises are demonstrated by the teacher or from
mp3 audio examples) and response (when students
play back the example). The mp3 audio files are
available as downloads from the publisher's website
for each instrument. Included are both unison and
harmonized exercises. Those teachers who have
been active in the jazz idiom will relish the fact
that they have a complete curriculum of material to
work with covering the six aspects of the language
of jazz: Rhythm, Articulation, Dynamics, Balance,
Phrasing and Beginning Improvisation. Developing
the Language of Jazz is sold as a complete
set with parts included for standard jazz band
instrumentation plus a teacher's part.

n Jazzers - Start Your Instruments!Paul
Clark. Start your jazz ensemble rehearsals and
performances right with these "to the point"
and very playable warm-ups for jazz band. An
established routine is an important part of learning
- these are written by a writer who has had 32
years experience in public school teaching. There's
opportunity for all to experiment with improvising in
the safe environment of the rehearsal room. The
slur exercises will develop the brass "chops"; the
tuning warm-up will get the players listening; and
the variety of styles (swing, rock, legato ballad) will
get the band ready for a productive rehearsal or
stellar performance. Warm-ups are the right place
to ensure that your "Jazz Engine" will run long and
play hard! Our highest recommendation!
