Tony Osborne: Junior Jazz Book 2 for double bass & piano

About the Book The long-awaited Junior Jazz Book 2 builds on the success of Book 1, one of Recital Music's bestsellers, and includes seven exciting jazz solos for the adventurous and progressing bassist. Aimed at the intermediate player (Grade 5-7), these pieces can be played pizzicato or arco - or a mixture of the two - and are an opportunity to study and perform a range of jazz styles and idioms with lively, syncopated, and rhythmic piano accompaniments. A drumbeat can be added for extra effect! Ideal for any concert or occasion, these pieces are typical of the jazzy, approachable, and accessible music of Tony Osborne. He has written a wealth of music for the double bass, particularly for younger players, and much of his music is included by various examination boards around the world. This is music to enjoy. Have fun! About the Composer Born in 1947 into a musical family, Tony Osborne studied at the Royal Academy of Music (London) with John Walton (double bass) and Richard Stoker (
