Teachers consistently choose Kirby Shaw's Blues Back to Back in both SAB and SATB voicings, each with recorded accompaniments and optional instrumental parts. Pam Wedgwood also contributes arrangements to this collection, rounding out the jazz and blues options across both series.

Kirby Shaw brings decades of experience as a choral educator and conductor, holding degrees in Music Education and Choral Composition from San Jose State University and a DMA in Choral Conducting from the University of Washington. His teaching style combines humor with genuine musical expertise, and that accessible yet sophisticated approach shows throughout his arrangements, particularly in Blues Back to Back, which has become a favorite among teachers seeking jazz and blues repertoire that works for intermediate singers.

Pam Wedgwood is an arranger represented in this collection alongside her peers, contributing to the jazz and blues offerings available here.
