'University Years' 8th Note Studies

I wrote these studies when I was an undergraduate at the New Zealand School of Music over the course of 3 years.  Basically they are idiomatic prepared pieces designed to demonstrate the knowledge and application of the jazz vocabulary acquired at different stages of the degree.   My aim at the time was musicality and playability over technicality.  Some of these exercises include analysis but most just contain the written improvisation and accompanying chords.  Please feel free to download, play and get what you can from each exercise, the level will vary from piece to piece as some are written very early on in my degree.
