Composing for the Jazz Orchestra [Paperback] Review

I liked this little book. I used it out of necessity when I found myself writing a couple of jazz tunes for an 8 peice band (first time I had to write & orchestrate like that).There are alot of quick and useful theory tips.Russo mostly deals with orchestration & voicing for a group with a sizeable horn section which, by the way, I did not have.I did, however, manage to glean enough information from the text to assemble some great music.The section on upright bass was wonderful.A lot of information for a little money!Abel Zimmerman- Big Swingset Jazz Band

Product Description:
"Although it will be of primary interest to those who are engaged in composition themselves, [this] book is also recommended for readers who may wish to gain further insight into just what makes jazz composition so different from traditional approaches."--Malcolm Bessom, The Music Magazine
