The world-famous Microjazz series needs no introduction.  Combining the pop and jazz sounds students enjoy with the technique they need to learn, it's become a long-standing favourite with both teachers and players.  So popular in fact that this year we are celebrating the 20th anniversary of its publication.  There have been many imitations over the years, but no one has matched Chris Norton's unique knack for writing a good tune and making it sound so easy.  Happy Birthday Microjazz!

Published to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Microjazz this smart box-set contains Microjazz for Absolute Beginners, Microjazz for Beginners, Microjazz Collections 1 - 3 and one free copy of a Big Beats book.

Press Reviews

"It is, amazingly, 20 years since Christopher Norton’s Microjazz first hit the music shop shelves so Boosey and Hawkes, understandably, celebrates this hugely influential mega-success with a stylish boxed set (£24.99, a saving of 40% over the full cover prices) of the Complete Solo Microjazz books, five in all, plus a free Big Beats .......

..... it is, of course, testimony to the brilliance of Norton that it is now unimaginable to have a festival competition without a Norton piece in it, or an exam syllabus that could avoid selections from it. How could anyone doubt its huge influence and spot-on originality! Many have tried to ape it - some better than others - but no-one has improved on it ....

..... Twenty years and only just started! There is more to come from this composer; of that, you can be sure!"

(Piano Magazine, August/September 2003)
