Jazz Suite for Strings and Rhythm by Leighton Tiffault (String Orchestra, Grade 3) is an early and engaging jazz-style suite crafted for student orchestras. It includes three distinct movements—Blues, Ballad, and Waltz—that blend jazzy idioms with string ensemble textures, creating an accessible yet stylistically rich experience. A version recorded by the Michigan State University Orchestra appears on the Teaching Music Through Performance in Orchestra, Volume 1 CD, underscoring its educational and performance value.
