Jazz à Challans (Jazz at Challans) was written for my students during a one year residency when I replaced the recorder teacher at the conservatory of music in Challans, France. This piece was intended to be the student's first introduction to the world of jazz and the idea was to give them a piece requiring the 'swing' style along with some jazz improvisation using pitches found in one of the pentatonic scales. A flatted fifth is also included in the melodic line. I have included versions for both C (soprano) & F (alto) recorders. Although I imagine players would choose one or the other of the versions, it could also be fun to play the two versions together for a different kind of harmonic sound.
