Sing JAZZ! contains many selections that were originally instrumental compositions; here they appear as songs with lyrics. With its unique emphasis on selections drawn from the astonishingly rich world of instrumental jazz, Sing JAZZ! opens up a completely new range of repertoire for the vocalist.
The table of contents shows both the lyricized title ("One Fine Day" by Ray Bryant and Lyricist L. Aziza Miller) and the original "instrumentally known as" title (Ray Bryant's "Cubano Chant"). You may not recognize the title "Beloved," music by Clifford Brown and lyric by Meredith d'Ambrosio; however, the classic instrumental "Daahoud" should be familiar to most. A separate index by instrumental title is included. Sing JAZZ! thus provides an opportunity to explore classic jazz material in a new way.
A helpful hints section includes detailed information on notation, style and form, as well as insights into performance techniques. The lyrics are shown under the music and are also presented separately, in a "lyrics alone" section, allowing careful and thorough interpretation of the prose. Brief biographies of the composers provide a historical context. Several indexes (by composer, lyricist, original instrumental title, and tempo/style) allow easy access to the material.
For a list of all titles, email info@secondfloormusic.com and put Sing Jazz titles in the subject line.
