We publish Jazz combos (quintets to octets), big bands, sax quartets, piano folios and method books. Our charts were written and recorded by jazz legends and contemporary jazz masters. Think of our site as a toolkit: we'll help you find the chart you need and give you the information you'll need to teach and play it effectively. Listen to our new Easy Sextet Set: (click on title for RealAudio clip) Sonny's Mood (Sonny Clark) Grant's Tune (Grant Green) Nice And Easy (Johnny Griffin) In Walked Horace (J.J. Johnson) Al's Mist (Al Grey) The Clan (Curtis Fuller) If you've never been here before, choose COMPOSER LIST from the left navigation bar, go to a composer you know (click on the first letter of the composer's last name), click on a song title (they're underlined), and you'll see the instrumentation & analysis of the chart. You can hear a sound clip of the recording if you click on the RealAudio button in the detail screen, and you can also read a brief biography of the composer and link to a site to learn more about the composer. If you play jazz or teach it, explore our site. Order through your local music dealer, call Music Dispatch at 1-800-637-2852 or check out one of the online music stores through our "to order" links.

NEW -IAJE 2006 We're proud to be part of SmartMusic's special package of play-along arrangements available by subscription to IAJE members and their students. Don Sickler selected material from SFM's catalog of important jazz-artist-composers to complement the other arrangements SmartMusic included in this unique 20 arrangement package. These are the SFM titles (click on PICK OF THE MONTH to see available charts): Alter Ego James Williams De-Dah Elmo Hope Deciphering The Message Hank Mobley E.T.A. Bobby Watson Farmer's Market Art Farmer Politely Bill Hardman Rapture Harold Land Una Mas Kenny Dorham Valse Robin Dexter Gordon With the new IAJE SmartMusic subscription, IAJE members and their students get exclusive access to jazz standards as they were recorded by Wynton Marsalis's rhythm section. SmartMusic not only displays lead sheets in any key and for any instrument, it allows you to change tempos as you play along. Rhythm section students learn to comp by seeing transcriptions of exactly what the musicians played throughout all choruses. Play By Ear exercises develop ears while other exercises develop fluency with the Blues Scale, ii-V7-I and iii-vi-ii-V7-I. Plus, students can record themselves for instant feedback and to email teachers and friends. It's definitely a fantastic teaching and learning tool and we recommend it highly.
