THANKS TO

All of the composers featured in the book. Every one of them consented to lend their compositions free of charge, which was the only way this first volume could come to fruition!

Steven McNamara, who saw the value in the project and helped make the book a reality by designing the book.

My family and friends, who supported the project and helped to make it happen.

Finally, the musicians who will use this book. A jazz composition does not end at the bottom of the page. There are infinite potential variations and each new performance gives another perspective from which to hear them. It is you who will make the music, and that is ultimately what this is all about.
