Advance Music The Jazz Workshop Series Sheet Music
The Jazz Workshop Series from Advance Music offers jazz musicians a direct path into interpreting standards, modern classics, and essential repertoire. Curated by respected educators and performers like Bill Dobbins, David Liebman, and John Abercrombie, these books pair lead sheets, melody lines, and performance notes with companion CDs so you can hear how the tunes should breathe.
Who it's for
- Jazz pianists and melodic instrumentalists ready for standards and arrangements
- Intermediate jazz students using real repertoire with teacher guidance
- Private jazz instructors building curriculum around working standards
What's inside
- 4 volumes by Bill Dobbins, David Liebman, and John Abercrombie
- Book and CD format: lead sheets, melody, and recorded performances
- Titles span standards (Quest), modern classics, and jazz compositions
Things to consider
Start with Vol. 4 (Quest/Standards) or Vol. 6 (Modern Jazz Classics Vol. 1) depending on your familiarity with this repertoire; both are popular entry points. Use the CD to internalize phrasing and comping before you transcribe or improvise. The book-and-disc pairing works best if you're the kind of learner who wants to hear the tune sung correctly before you make it your own.
