Original Lead Sheets
Lead sheets are an essential tool for jazz musicians. They are the springboard for an entire arrangement. They have served me well for over four decades of performing and recording.
Lead sheets can be used in a variety of ways. You can put them in SmartScore 64 Pro, save them as an XML file, then upload them to Band in a Box or your favorite notation program for transposition or reharmonization.
Some of these lead sheets are also in the small group category where they are arranged for quartet, quintet, sextet, and other small ensemble configurations.
Lead sheet prices are normally $4.95, but are currently on sale for 50% off , or $2.95.
