The Jazz Rhythm Section introduces the basics of this very important part of the jazz ensemble. They are the foundation of any jazz group, so improving the rhythm section will result in a stronger sounding band. This book is intended to be a practical guide with chapters on each of the primary instruments in the rhythm section: bass, drums, piano and guitar. Key topics include equipment and setup issues and performance practice, including tips on constructing walking bass lines, learning voicings and comping rhythms and creating drummer’s setup fills. Additionally, there is a chapter on the rhythm section itself that details all of the inter-relationships, suggestions for count-offs and metronome exercises that will help improve your band. The Jazz Rhythm Section is intended for novice directors, but directors of all levels will benefit as well.

The 6403EB Bb Clarinet shares the same features as the Hunter 6403E – the Hunter 6403E has a durable plastic body, drop-forged, nickel-silver keys with inline jump side keys, and plays with very good sound and key action. The difference comes in the clarinet’s plateau (covered) keys that are specifically designed for the younger player-or anyone who may have difficulty covering the standard open-hole ring keys. The Hunter clarinet comes complete with a case, mouthpiece, cap and ligature, and care products.
