Jeff Sultanof

I am a composer/arranger/conductor, writer, editor of both music and prose and American cultural historian (Movies, TV, Theater). I've been Editorial Director for Warner Bros. Music Publications, a K-12 teacher, college professor, trade school program administrator and editor of classic big band and concert American music; these editions are published by Jazz Lines Publications (ejazzlines.com). My corrected edition of the music of the Miles Davis Nonet (Birth of the Cool) has been published by both Hal Leonard (study scores in concert) and Jazz Lines (Performance editions); I have written about this in the Journal of Jazz Studies (Rutgers University). In much of my work, I aspire to appeal to the general reader, but also include material of use to the scholar; similarly, my music is meant for professionals, but it can be played by middle school, high school and college players. Many of my older arrangements are still available.

"Experiencing Big Band Jazz" has been adopted as a text for a required course for Jazz Majors at The University of North Texas.
