Whether you are an arranger or a composer or a music major, JAZZ COMPOSITION AND ARRANGING will help you gain a full understanding of the subject. This comprehensive introduction to the skills and techniques necessary for producing a successful composition and arranging project focuses on the concepts underlying instrumental writing, rather than on stylistic concerns. Narrative and music examples illustrate the harmonic and melodic practices prevalent in today's contemporary jazz music scene. The text focuses on presenting voice-leading tendencies in a number of different contexts: line writing, bass line construction, voicing procedures, and scoring textures.

Tom Boras received a Bachelor of Music in composition from the University of North Texas and a Masters of Music in composition from the New England Conservatory of Music, and a doctorate degree from Columbia University. Tom has taught at Berklee College of Music, Columbia University, and since 1985, at New York University, where he held the position of Associate Professor of Music and Director of Jazz and Contemporary Music Studies.
