​​EDUCATORS: Check out the Flexible Instrumentation Big Band charts from VJC Publications. And hear this great new music on our YouTube channel. VJC Publications offers flex. charts that don't compromise. These are exceptional investments for your ensemble library: Great charts to have during your program's robust years...and total lifesavers during the occasional lean years, too. Please give them a look and a listen!
​
All new 2024 VJCP releases are $5.00 off through the end of the JEN Conference in January 2025! As a reminder, 100% of each purchase goes back into supporting the educational activities of the Valley Jazz Cooperative.
