The best of the classic Jazz Chants®, along with an exciting collection of new chants.
This collection combines favourite jazz chants with snappy, upbeat new ones - all using the rhythms of jazz to illustrate the stress and intonation patterns of spoken American English. There are helpful notes for the teacher, including suggestions for presenting the chants. Each chant is accompanied by speaking, listening and writing exercises, and an answer key. A cassette or CD features lively performances of the chants set against a background of jazz music.
