Jazz Flute Duets

Lennie Niehaus is a household word among jazz musicians. Having been a phenomenal jazz saxophonist, he is eminently qualified to write for and understand woodwind instruments. These duets resulted from a conversation we had about the need for jazz flute literature. Most duets were written in the past for saxophone or clarinet. the six duets in this book will be a great addition to the flutist's repertoire.

These educational, instructional books contain outstanding original jazz material written for the advanced player/student by jazz legend John La Porta. Each duet is an excellent tool for teaching the jazz style, including interpretation, phrasing, breath control and articulation. All of the books in this series may be performed together.

(Jazz Duet). Features: Body and Soul * Bye Bye Blues * Call Me Irresponsible * Cheek to Cheek * Moonglow * Waltz for Debby * and more. All books are compatible with each other. Flute edition includes chords.

10 Easy Jazz Duets, written by John La Porta with Greg Nielsen, contains jazz duets in a variety of styles. This unique book is compatible for performance with all instruments and is published with a CD of hip rhythm section backgrounds. In addition, the duets can be performed with a live rhythm section using the chord symbols provided in the C and Bass Clef editions. Not only is the book great for individual jazz practice for improvisation, articulation and phrasing, but it provides interaction with another musician or group with no limitation on the instrumentation. The duets are also very useful to the educator who may find it difficult to get a full band together.
