About This Collection
Description
Grade 1 jazz ensemble music built for students just starting their jazz journey. This collection of 398 titles leans heavily on accessible jazz standards and recognizable tunes that work for beginning players. Teachers consistently choose Avenue Swing by Mike Collins-Dowden, Hit the Road Jack by Percy Mayfield, and Mercy, Mercy, Mercy by Joe Zawinul as reliable openers that sound good fast. Most titles come in the First Year Charts for Jazz Ensemble series, which means you're getting charts designed specifically for young ensembles with manageable ranges and rhythmic vocabulary.
Highlights
Teachers keep coming back to Avenue Swing and Hit the Road Jack, both popular enough to anchor a beginner program. Mercy, Mercy, Mercy by Joe Zawinul and Celebration by Ronald Bell round out the core repertoire that works year after year. These titles appear on contest and festival lists regularly, which tells you they hold up musically even as students grow out of the beginner level.
Recently added
Riddle in Swing by Rob Vuono Jr. is the newest addition to the collection, published this year.
Composer Spotlight
Terry White has spent over three decades teaching instrumental music in Maine and brings that classroom experience directly into his writing. A Berklee composition graduate, he's had his work performed by the Portland Symphony Orchestra and currently leads his own big band. His title Misty for jazz ensemble appeals to teachers who want their students playing recognizable material with some musicality built in.
Vince Gassi has been publishing with Alfred Music since 2006 and brings an energetic, creative approach that young musicians respond to. His work appears on international concert and contest lists, and Sing, Sing, Sing is a favorite in beginner jazz programs because it sits right at that sweet spot between accessible and fun.
