5.0 out of 5 stars
Great book with great recording examples,
By Daniel Maudonnet (Sao Paulo, Brazil) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Arranging for Large Jazz Ensemble (Paperback)
Arranging Jazz for Large Ensemble gives the readers the necessary skills to write for big bands. Although it is an advance subject in the Arranging area, the book starts with writing for unison and octaves. There are also great chapters about background writing with riff and guide tone lines. The Shout Chorus chapter provides beginners writers to fully understand the arrangement "big picture". All levels of arrangers can benefit from these chapters and their musical examples. They will help you memorize sound texture and effects as well as the writing techniques. As you go over the other chapters, you can easily assimilate their content and apply them successfully. It's unique and well written book, one of the best of its kind.

Highly Recommended,
This review is from: Arranging for Large Jazz Ensemble (Paperback)
This book provides a wealth of priceless knowledge. The techniques revealed by the Berklee faculty have greatly improved my ability as an arranger. Although the focus is on jazz, I have found many of the techniques to be useful when arranging in other musical genres. I found the accompanying CD extremely helpful, as it provided demos of a number of famous arrangers and composers. I find myself referring back to the book time and time again and finding new techniques to use each time. I highly recommed it to anyone interested in becoming an arranger or composer.
