Things to consider
Start with the Really Easy or Easy series if your students are new to jazz rhythms and swing feel, then progress toward The Jazzin' About Piano Anthology or duet books as their comfort grows. Many titles include backing tracks, which makes solo practice much more engaging and helps students internalize the jazz style before performing with you. If you're building a mixed ensemble, check which instruments are available at your target level rather than assuming all pieces exist for every instrument.
