About this collection
Jacques Rizzo Sheet Music
Jacques Rizzo's sheet music collection brings accessible jazz and holiday pops to young musicians and developing ensembles. His Reading Jazz series stands out as a practical entry point for alto sax, tenor saxophone, trumpet, and trombone players learning to improvise and read jazz idioms. Alongside the jazz method books, Rizzo's FJH Young Band arrangements offer Grade 2 concert band pieces centered on Christmas material.

Things to consider
The Reading Jazz series works best as a solo study tool or small group method, with each book paired to a specific instrument and audio reinforcement. If you're equipping a full jazz ensemble, plan to purchase multiple titles across instruments rather than a single book. For concert band directors, the FJH Young Band pieces are ready-to-perform Grade 2 charts that suit elementary and middle school groups without advanced technical demands.
