Discovery Jazz

The very easy to easy big band arrangements of the series Discovery Jazz by Hal Leonard are already playable from an instrumentation of 3 saxophones, 2 trumpets, 1 trombone and rhythm section (difficulty level 1-2).

This makes the sheet music perfect for student big bands, since the title selection is also very oriented to the interests of young musicians.

Two anthologies have also been published in the Discovery Jazz series: Discovery Jazz Collection and Discovery Jazz Collection 2.
