About This Collection
Description
This jazz and contemporary music collection centers on materials for developing improvisation and ensemble skills across all levels. Jim Snidero's Jazz Conception series dominates the catalog, with separate volumes for alto, tenor, soprano, trumpet, and trombone at both introductory and intermediate-advanced levels. You'll also find Hal Crook's How To Improvise, a foundational text that teachers rely on for students learning to navigate chord changes and develop melodic language. The bulk of the 994 titles focus on saxophone, clarinet, and jazz ensemble arrangements, though you'll find materials for piano, guitar, and brass as well.
Highlights
Teachers consistently reach for Jim Snidero's Jazz Conception Alto & Baritone Saxophone and the Easy Jazz Conception volumes across multiple instruments—these titles anchor beginner and intermediate instruction. Hal Crook's How To Improvise remains a perennial favorite for students ready to work on improvisation fundamentals. Bach's Six Suites for Violoncello Solo (arranged for saxophone) has proven surprisingly durable, suggesting strong crossover interest in classical repertoire adapted for jazz players.
Recently added
New additions include Matthew Schoendorff's In Search of... The Wild Saxamuhphones for four saxophones, Bill Mays's Play Song, and Jim Snidero's latest ensemble work Ventura. Frank Reinshagen's Go Down Moses for brass quartet and Armen Donelian's Metropolitan Madness for woodwind quintet expand options beyond the saxophone-heavy core.
