The Best of Belwin Jazz: First Year Charts for Jazz Ensemble comprises twelve exceptional arrangements tailored for young musicians. Crafted by skilled educational arrangers and composers, these charts encompass a variety of styles and tempos, including swing, Latin, ballad, waltz, holiday, and pop. The collection is designed for full instrumentation—featuring five saxophones, three trumpets, three trombones, and four rhythm instruments—yet it maintains a rich sound even with a reduced setup of three saxophones, two trumpets, one trombone, and three rhythm players. Optional parts are provided for flute, clarinet, tuba, horn in F, and baritone T.C. The rhythm section includes guidance on rhythms, piano voicings, and guitar chord frames, while all solos are fully notated for improvisational sections. Additionally, the conductor’s book comes with full-length CD recordings of each title, which include popular pieces such as "Bill Bailey, Won’t You Please Come Home," "Birth of the Blues," and "Jingle Bell Rock." This title is also available in SmartMusic.
