Thrilled to find this


Was thrilled to find this review of Razz 2 on the net
Razzamajazz Book 2 (+accomp)
Price: £7.99
Composer: WattsPublisher: KMGrade: 1-2
Category: Code: WAT218Editor's Notes:^

Editor's ChoiceFor all those of us who think that Sarah Watts is brilliant and Razzamajazz Book 1 completely indispensible, Book 2 is surely the answer to our prayers. Easier than her Repertoire book, the main focus here is on the middle register although low C and E flat are also included. The tunes are very appealing and well crafted to ensure that only one problem is tackled at a time. The rhythms are generally simple and the speeds slower to help reading and blowing in this tricky area. The CD unusually has the performance at a practice speed and the backing track at a performance speed which is an interesting idea and again should help the learning process still further. Also new is the addition of a series of notes for improvisation. Altogether it's a winner for me!
