The six volumes of Jazz<br />

Sessions by Faber Music<br />

are the result of a collaboration<br />

between Alexander<br />

L’Estrange (composer, arranger,<br />

jazz double bass<br />

player and jazz examiner<br />

for the ABRSM) and<br />

Tom Pilling (composer,<br />

jazz pianist and teacher).<br />

Each book spans a host<br />

of jazz idioms including<br />

blues, swing, Latin and<br />

gospel. Included in the series are publications for piano,<br />

violin, flute, clarinet, alto saxophone and trumpet<br />

— all with CD backing. The arrangements and compositions<br />

have second, extended versions that are ideal<br />

for improvisation, and are suitable for the intermediate<br />

level (grades 4-5). The pieces are ideal preparation for<br />

the ABRSM jazz exams. Faber also has more jazz music<br />

available for piano (grade 3-6), as well as Progressive<br />

Jazz Studies for flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet and<br />

trombone — all for the intermediate level. The Groove<br />

Lab series of pieces with CD for keyboard, flute, clarinet,<br />

alto saxophone and trumpet are for grades 3-4.<br />

The Universal <strong>Edition</strong><br />
