Haje Paje for Naje , does anyone know this jazz standard?
I have been looking for any info on this piece Haje Paje for Naje and cannot find anything online even a recording. Nothing. Like it doesn't exist, but i know it does because my jazz band plays it. we have been playing it for a long time i only did a search because i was looking for an arrangement or a recording, but nothing.
Would anyone know?

Are you sure it isn't Hodgepodge or something else that sounds like Haje Paje?
Do you have a recording? Maybe even a copy of the music?

Sorry for the late reply . No that is the name i checked and double checked with my band leader, we play it with 3horns (alto, tenor trp, ) its A fusion piece. i had to learn and transcribe by ear because there were no piano parts or bass parts , but i seem to have gotten alot of notes wrong, thats why i have to check , but we play it alot.
Thank you for the reply.

Well, this page ( https://librarycatalog.ecu.edu/catalog/179816 ) says that the Jazz Educators Journal is the "official magazine of the National Association of Jazz Educators". It appears to be published by Kansas State University's publishing house.
A) If you can find a university library with a full set, it might be published there. Check with nearby universities that have good music programs.
B) You could try contacting KState. I would guess they have contacts with NAJE and try to get the score from them.
I suspect that it's probably pronounced as if it were spelled "Hodge-Podge for Nayje" or "Hodge-Podge for Nayj-ee". (However the organization pronounces its acronym.) Good luck in finding it.
