KJOSStandard Of Excellence for Jazz Ensemble Bass
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The bass part book from Kjos's Standard of Excellence jazz ensemble series. For the bassist in a school or community big band.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Bassist holding down the rhythm section in a school jazz band
- Directors replacing a worn or missing bass part
- Adding the bass chair to an existing band library
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing the whole ensemble set — this covers one chair
- Horn players; every instrument has its own separate book
- Players wanting a general bass method instead of ensemble parts
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Jazz Ensemble series
Big band writing, so the bass line sits inside a rhythm section rather than standing alone.
Detail 03
Standard of Excellence line
Kjos's school band series, sequenced for directed classroom rehearsal rather than solo practice.
Detail 04
$18.99
Per-book pricing. Outfitting a full ensemble means buying each part individually.
Detail 05
Printed part book
Paper on a stand. A folder or binder keeps it intact through a rehearsal season.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No conductor score, drum part, or piano book included

- 03One copy per player if your section runs two bassists
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this work for electric bass or upright?
The bass chair in a jazz ensemble is commonly covered on either. The written part is the same book regardless of which instrument you play it on.
02Are the other parts included?
No. This is the bass book only. Drums, piano, guitar, and every horn chair are sold separately.
03Is this a method for learning bass?
No. It is an ensemble part, so it assumes you already read music and can play. Learn fundamentals from a method book first.
04Does it come with a play-along recording?
No audio is included. This is printed music.
