AJC Original Tunes Competition Compositions. Volume 1.

 

This book contains the 29 Original Tunes submitted for judging at the 50th Australian Jazz Convention’s Original Tunes Competition in 1995. Due to the large number of entries the Organisers decided to have each entrant submit their tune on the cassette tape provided along with their manuscript, thus these tunes were never “Officially” Performed at an Australian Jazz Convention. These tunes are colour printed from those manuscripts & cassettes containing the full melody, chords, lyrics & composer’s comments.

 

These books are only $AU20.00 each + Australia Wide Postage & Handling: $7.00

Available from the Archivist or on-line.
