I’ve started a new project writing jazz duets which include improvisation as an essential element. Here’s my first offering. You can look, listen, and download at http://robertbeasleymusic.com/downloads/jazz-duet-1-tjs-blues/

Very fine! Thank you, sir. This is just what I was looking for.

One thought, and you may have a differing opinion, it would be nice to have the option to get something like an mxl or midi file with such a purchase. I, for one, spend most of my practice time alone and being able to easily have something to play the duets with would enhance the experience, if I may use that horrid expression. I can make one from the PDF but as this is a single click from your end...

Anyhow, many thanks, Robert, and I look forward to the next ones.

Hi Mark,
Thanks for picking up the duets and for your feedback. I can send you the tracks I've recorded for each duet if you'd like. Thanks again!

I've got two new jazz duets available as of this week. All duet downloads now come with play-along tracks of each part in addition to the sheet music.

The duets are all based on standard chord changes and include improvisation in each part. The newest ones are based on Blue Bossa and Take the A Train. Links below. Thanks and happy trumpeting to everybody!

Thanks jpleaf21! If anyone on here is an ensemble teacher, I've turned these duets into a class set designed for remote learning. The class set includes C, Eb, bass clef, trumpet, and tenor sax parts, along with optional accompaniment parts for piano, bass, and drums. Play-along tracks include each individual duet part in addition to recordings of both parts together.

The class set is available at https://robertbeasleymusic.com/downloads/jazz-duets-class-set/
