NEW TO THIS CATALOG
August 2006
Dear Jazz Band Director,

Thank you for your interest in our electronic big band arrangement catalog. We are proud of this e-catalog
and feel that it is our most complete edition.Why did we go electronic? Well, in reality the cost of printing and
mailing catalogs has skyrocketed over the last couple of years, making it difficult to continue to offer our
discounted prices and depth of material. In addition, printed catalogs, by nature, are obsolete just about as
soon as they are done being printed: our website is updated daily with great new arrangements. We encour-
age you to migrate to our website for browsing and purchasing. You can view listings by title, arranger, per-
former, style, and even difficulty level. You can also search by any criterion.
Recognizing that many of you will still prefer the look and feel of a printed catalog, we came up with this
compromise - an electronic version of our annual printed catalog. Within this e-catalog you’ll find sound
samples for many of the arrangements. Just click on the musical notes next to the title and the sound sample
will play in your preferred media player. In addition, the title for each listing is a link to the same title on our
website. If you’ve found something that you want, just click on the title and add that to your basket for
checkout. We really feel that we can serve you better with this e-catalog and our website.
If you would prefer to have a printed copy of this, please phone or email us - we’re happy to run one off for
you.
In other news, we have completey re-vamped our website. In addition to a new look and feel, it is much more
user friendly and has new features that will make your browsing and shopping experience that much more
pleasant. One of the major changes is that we now have the capability of accepting orders from customers
who wish to use only a purchase order number. A credit card is not needed to complete your order.We have
established accounts in our database for all our educational customers and setup their accounts so that a
credit card is not needed. Another great new feature is that our educational customers are setup to receive
our discounted pricing on all our products. Discounts vary from 10% to 20% off the retail price. These prices
are automatic once you login. Of course, we still accept phone, fax, email, and mail orders from our educa-
tional customers. We’re so confident that you’ll be happy with your online shopping experience at
ejazzlines.com that we suggest giving it a try.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us - we pride ourselves on our timely responsiveness.
We hope you have a fulfilling Fall and Holiday Season. Thanks for your support from all of us at ejazzlines.
Best Regards,
Rob DuBoff and Doug DuBoff
