Arranging Jazz - Modern Jazz Voicings

The definitive text used on the time-honoured Chord Scales course at Berklee College of Music, concentrates on scoring for every possible ensemble combination and teaches performers and arrangers how to add colour, character and sophistication to chord voicings.

Topics covered include:

• selecting appropriate harmonic tensions,
• understanding jazz harmony,
• overcoming harmonic ambiguity, experimenting with unusual combinations
• non-traditional alignments, and many more.

The accompanying online audio includes performance examples of several different arranging techniques. The audio tracks feature PLAYBACK+, a multi-functional audio player that allows you to slow down audio without changing pitch, set loop points, change keys, and pan left or right.
