Summary of This Score
Designed for "intermediate" players who want to take their first steps in the style, the "Easy Jazzy Duets" gather ten accessible duos, ideal for discovering the codes of jazz language (pulse, phrasing, articulations, and harmonic reflexes) without facing overly demanding writing. The goal is clear: to offer a progressive introduction, perfect for working in pairs during lessons, workshops, rehearsals, or at home.
Each part being printed on separate pages makes reading smoother and more enjoyable, especially when playing with two sections. The chord symbols, provided in concert pitch, allow for easy addition of accompaniment (keyboard, guitar, or other harmonic instruments) and adaptation to different combinations of Bb and Eb instruments.
A strong point of this collection is its flexibility for saxophonists: a specific Part 2 for tenor saxophone in Bb is included, which allows maintaining a coherent ensemble when Part 1 is played by an alto saxophone in Eb. The "Easy Jazzy Duets" thus constitute an excellent stepping stone toward the wide selection of solos and duets in the "Jazzy Series," intended for intermediate-level musicians wishing to deepen their jazz repertoire.
