(Written to give developing jazz musicians the chance to sharpen their interpretative skills in a trio setting for like instruments, this outstanding set features ten concise tunes in swing (5), Latin (2), ballad (2), and blues (1) styles. Each selection contains both linear and vertical writing, and every player has a chance to carry the melodic lead. This second in a four-volume series is designed for grade 3 players)
(Division of measure incl. counting rest values as well as note values. A mistake in counting note values while playing is heard and corrected by the instructor, but counting rest values is a silent business and difficult at times for the instructor to detect just where the mistake was made, or who made the mistake. Book will help solve that problem, as the unison feature will enable the instructor and the whole ensemble to count aloud all in unison, on any or all rest patterns until each rest pattern is perfect)
