Exploring Jazz Arranging

If you are, or would like to be, an arranger for jazz ensembles, big bands or jazz orchestras, you owe it to yourself to absorb the decades of wisdom contained in Chuck Israels' newly revised book, Exploring Jazz Arranging. Mr. Israels starts at the beginning by giving you sage advice on how to construct perfect bass lines (something he knows a lot about, having been Bill Evans' bassist of choice for many years). Then there are complete chapters on Rhythm, Form, Melody and Orchestration, Writing for Two Voices, Writing for Three Voices, Writing for Four or More Voices, and more!
