November 2024 New Print Music Books & PDFs

NOVEMBER NOTES: (November 12th Update): We have an especially exciting new release today, years in the making! We proudly present the Thad Jones Anthology: 82 Original Small-Group Compositions. This has been prepared in close collaboration with Dr. David Demsey, Jazz Studies Coordinator and Curator of the Living Jazz Archives at William Paterson University. We are thrilled to present this major addition to the available canon of one of the great minds of jazz compositon and arranging. This book is available in traditional paper and PDF download versions. This book is an effort to bring definitive versions of these small-group Thad Jones compositions the wider attention and recognition that they deserve. They are transcribed as precisely as possible from the original recorded versions. These are not new arrangements; they are Thad’s original versions, note for note. This book also includes a discography, listing source recordings for all compositions in this volume, as well as a Thad Jones biography, and information about the Thad Jones Archive at William Paterson University that is the basis of this project. The transcriptions provided here contain the details needed to create a full performance of each tune, as close to the original recorded performance as possible. This book uses a lead sheet format throughout. Two- or three-horn tunes are written using single staves; four- or five-horn tunes use a grand staff format to separate the horns. Some of the multi-horn tunes would undoubtedly be better expressed with a full score and parts, which is not possible here due to the limitations of space and length.
