Jazz Chart Searcher

Jazz Chart Searcher is a search engine, not a store: it links to charts published by others, and those who offer them are responsible for their rights.

This copyrighted Jazz Chart Searcher was created by a retired jazz ensemble director for jazz ensemble directors — especially useful for young directors — to widen their search for specific and/or new jazz ensemble music. It is also a resource for concert planning.

Entries are drawn from publicly available publisher information and added only when title, arranger/composer, and source can be verified. Many publishers maintain catalogs larger than what appears here; full lists remain on each publisher's website. The goal is a practical, searchable starting point — not an exhaustive inventory of every title in print.

This database is curated from verified public listings and is not a complete works list for every arranger/composer, who are encouraged to contribute their own CSV to the webmaster for inclusion.

The same way Google's is — in its parts:

• Its code. The program that runs this Searcher — including the algorithm created by the author — is original work, and software code is copyrighted the moment it is written.
• Its words and design. The text on this site and the way it is laid out are original work.
• Its collection. These charts were gathered, checked, and organized by hand into the fields you search. Copying the whole collection copies that work.

What is not copyrighted here: the facts — titles, names, and prices belong to nobody — and the music itself, which belongs to its composers, arrangers, and publishers.

• Selected titles are a planning list only. Purchasing is done on each publisher's website.
• Clicking a title opens the publisher's page for that chart. Please notify Jim@jimwarrickmusic.com of incorrect links or data errors.
• Totals shown reflect publisher prices. Prices and availability can change.
• Print a PDF of your selections when ready. For best results when building and printing a program list, use a desktop browser.
• All fields in the database are sortable.

Due to inconsistent standardization among publishers, this database maps available ratings into three levels: Easy (typically Grade 1-3/Beginning), Medium (typically Grade 3.5-4.5/Intermediate), and Difficult (Grade 4.5-5). Refer to the publisher website opened by the title link for the exact grade or series for each chart.

Report a mistake: each row has a Report button for a bad link, arranger/composer mistake, better link, wrong difficulty, not a jazz ensemble chart, duplicate of another chart, or other issues.
