Microjazz For Recorder contains fourteen stimulating original pieces in popular styles for Soprano or Descant Recorder and Piano accompaniment. Graded in order of difficulty these compositions are designed to improve solo technique and character whilst developing articulation and rythmic nuances. Part of the successful Microjazz series this book by Christopher Norton is not only fun but also a valuable resource for any developing Recorder player. Set as part of the ABRSM Descant Recorder examinations grades 3 and 4.

'Jazzy Recorder 2' has been composed with the aim of giving players of very moderate range and ability an easy introduction to the jazz idiom. It contains further five pieces in various jazz/swing styles only slightly more demanding technically than those in Book 1 and forming a useful set of studies in different tonguings ranging from the rhythmic almost percussive tonguing needed for No.1 to the warm flowing legato appropriate to No. 4. The accompaniments are very rhythmic in order to encourage the correct interpretation of the solo part. These pieces will provide effective enjoyable and different concert/festival material for intermediate players.
