IMPROVISE MICROJAZZ

for Clarinet and Piano

Series: Chamber Music
Publisher: Boosey and Hawkes
Voicing: Clarinet
Composer: Christopher Norton

Improvise Microjazz is designed to get the improviser started by highlighting the basic elements of good improvisation. These are then explored using rhythmic and melodic styles from the Microjazz series.

The book is comprised of little tunes that Norton presents in a theme-and-variation type of approach. Each varied presentation of the tune offers the student more rhythmic variation and occasional new scales...This book is appropriate for high school-age, college-age, or adult students who have little experience with improvising...Norton does not try to accomplish everything in this book--just simply get the student improvising right away--and if a book can do that with such a vast topic as improvising jazz, then my hat's off to the author! Highly recommended.--The Clarinet magazine
