Following the great critical success of Jazz Scores and Analysis, Vol.1, Richard Lawn has created another masterpiece: JAZZ SCORES AND ANALYSIS, VOL. 2: STRINGS AND OTHER THINGS. As the title suggests, Vol. 2 includes: Orchestral jazz writing with strings, by masters of the artform: Eddie Sauter, Oliver Nelson, Pat Williams, Claus Ogerman, Jeff Beal, Chris Potter, Vince Mendoza, Chuck Owen, Miho Hazama, and Tim Garland. This book features: Annotated full scores, Analysis of each score, Online access to interviews with each living composer, and 9″ x 12″, 438 pages! These scores all feature great string writing, along with more normal jazz orchestral instrumentation. Among the many highlights of this book is a previously unknown and unavailable score of Oliver Nelson’s Piece For Studio Orchestra and Soloist, and an Eddie Sauter composition from Stan Getz’s classic Focus album.
