Prairie Rose Shuffle
$50.00

Annie Booth’s middle school level piece, "Prairie Rose Shuffle" offers a bluesy call-and-response melody with elegant interludes interspersed throughout. A fun breakdown begins at Letter E, built up by adding sections of the ensemble one by one. The solo section takes place over two dominant chords a whole step apart - bluesy without being a 12-bar blues form - and everyone in the ensemble is given chord changes. Included is an Improv Resource with two written solos that students can play and expand upon, along with questions to prompt discussion and exercises to help students take their improvisational skills to the next level.

“Prairie Rose Shuffle” was commissioned by the Southeast Middle School Jazz Studio in Iowa City, IA under the direction of Jonah Prall.

Notorious R.B.G.
$60.00

Ayn Inserto’s Notorious R.B.G. was commissioned by the Jazz Education Network as a tribute to the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Ginsburg embodied intellect, resilience, and quiet strength—qualities that permeate this piece.

The music channels that same sense of cool confidence, poise, and quiet power. Set over a medium hip-hop groove infused with swung eighth notes, it strikes a balance between swagger and sophistication. Performers are encouraged to embrace the intentional dissonances, playing them boldly and unapologetically—echoing Justice Ginsburg’s fearless spirit.

The composition features an open solo section, inviting improvisation from any instrument, and a vibrant saxophone soli that showcases the ensemble’s collective voice.
