School of Syncopation - Jazz, Stride, Novelties & the Like

Just to clarify, Hal Leonard does sell digital versions, although it sounds like they're not downloadable as PDFs.

That said, you can find a bunch of them in PDF format on Anna's Archive.

Anna's Archive is one of the best sources for all kinds of PDF books. They decided not to compete with IMSLP, so their selection of classical scores is limited. But they do have a decent amount of jazz. They also have an extensive collection of in-print and out-of-print books about music.

Here's a link to get you started, but you might do better searching for exact titles.

Arrangements by A. Kroll
Musical cinema is an ambiguous concept. This is a movie musical, a traditional musical comedy, and a film adaptation of an opera, or operettas.

The film “We Are From Jazz” is, by all indications, a cheerful musical comedy that is easy to watch and listen to. However, this film not only entertaining. It is the formation of Soviet jazz, one of the full-fledged genres of Soviet musical art. And the ease with which it was filmed and acted does not at all prevent us from perceiving
it as an educational film, if you like, telling about the first steps of Soviet jazz. It does not contain the specific names of those who laid the professional foundations of Soviet jazz instrumental music - A. Tsfasman, A. Varlamov, N. Minkha, but the spirit of these musicians seems to be invisibly present in the film, and the talented
director Karen Shakhnazarov and the actors performing the main The roles enthusiastically and seriously, although cheerfully, strive to convey the atmosphere of the musical life of the 20s, when new forms and genres of the then young Soviet art were maturing.
Is it worth talking about how important it is in a musical film? the role of music! Composer, conductor, artistic director Sovremennik Orchestra Anatoly Kroll did a great job
not only as the author of beautiful, elegant and precise in its “antique” style of jazz melodies (two songs by Mark Minkov are also heard in the film). He became, so to speak, the musical soul of the film, its musical director, who determined the climate and mood of this film. The evolution of the musical language within the film is
accurately traced: lovers of jazz music will notice this on this record, which features melodies in the spirit of the earliest forms of jazz. for (ragtime) and its later movements (early swing).
Anatoly Krolya also performed here as a soloist pianist, performing who performed all the piano parts, as a conductor who recorded the music of the film with his orchestra, which not only performed jazz retro music accurately, but also with warmth; In my opinion, people of all generations listen to it with great pleasure. Larisa Do
took part in the recording of the music for the film “We are from Jazz.”
Lina (she also starred in one of the roles in this film), actor Igor Sklyar (the leading actor) and singer Olga Pirags.
I am sure that this record will not only be appreciated
music lovers, but will also provide an opportunity to retain the impression
of an interesting musical film for a long time.
