After forty years directing jazz bands at New Trier High School (Illinois) and Lakewood High School (Ohio) with its 75-minute commutes in Illinois (while raising a family)... I've had no time nor was there really a way to pursue a project that I've envisioned since I started teaching. WAIT FOR IT...




 "A JAZZ CHART SEARCHER"

​​

When I started teaching, it was impossible to know about all the available jazz ensemble music — until now by using this new "JAZZ CHART SEARCHER".  This AI-assisted, free-to-access, copyrighted database solves that. It currently has a 11,703 monthly-updated, interactive database of currently published charts from 33 global publishers, with eleven sortable and searchable fields (title, arranger, composer, publisher, year, difficulty, style, duration, tempo, price, and Buy/Hear/See links to each publisher's page). Just push a button to highlight the charts published in the past month.. There's a smartphone app for your 2 a.m. search when you just have to know NOW what's available. Hint: There's great jazz band music being published outside the USA!
 

This SEARCHER will be available through Sept. 1, 2027. After that its future depends on traffic and user feedback.
 

Are you a jazz arranger or composer of big band music? Contact me about being listed in this SEARCHER alongside the legacy music publishers — at no cost. Also use the SEARCHER to find an origional title for your new composition, or locate music for a tribute concert to an arranger or composer, etc.

DISCLAIMER:  The Jazz Chart Searcher is a search engine, not a store. Like Google, it links to information published by others — it sells nothing. Arrangers and publishers are solely responsible for the rights to the works they offer.​​
