Starting a Jazz Combo

[tbonejake]

I wanted to start a Jazz Combo with a couple of people from our Jazz Band. How would I go about finding and purchasing music for it?

look for the "real book" if your persistant you can usually find it on the net for free, otherwise get something like limewire ect. (P2P) and search for "real book jazz" I am sure you will get hundreds of hits. It should be in a .pdf format.

If you don't want to go through the hassle of finding and downloading books on the internet, you can find a good selection of (legal) fake books at Tom Lee Music. Probably other stores, too, but that's where I shop.

The Fake Book Index at http://www.seventhstring.co.uk/fbindex.html is a great resource for figuring out which books contain the tunes you're looking for.
