Things to consider
Start with Grade 1 or 1.5 titles like Cariba or The Thumb if your ensemble is new to jazz; these build confidence with straightforward rhythms and voicings. Boss City and other Grade 2.5 pieces work well once your group is comfortable with swing feel and basic comping. Always order or download the full conductor score and parts set together so you have everything needed for rehearsal and performance.
