Yazz Ahmed's piece Ruby Bridges features on the Grade 7 Jazz Horns Syllabus. 

Josephine Davies is a musical artist at the forefront of the UK contemporary music scene, pushing the boundaries of jazz with her current main artistic project Satori – a sax/bass/drums trio with an emphasis on extended and collaborative improvisation. Now becoming equally known as a composer, her unique voice is a blend of classical, jazz and folk music, creating an intensely dynamic sound infused with the Nordic quality of her Shetland roots.

In this film, Josephine shares her approach to teaching this piece.

Josephine has created a summary document that you can download and keep, which outlines the key points from the film and includes the notation of the scale patterns.

ABRSM backing tracks are available via streaming services.
