I started with the Martha Meier jazz books. which are fun. but nobody ever heard of her songs. Then I wanted some real jazz. so I bought this. I would say these are playable if you finished grade 4. though you are definitely going to need to practice a lot. He regularly uses four note chords in the melody and octaves and arpeggios in the left hand. They sound great. although there is a rare note here and there that I wonder if it is a misprint.One thing which I really appreciate is that the book has notes that these old eyes can see. with only 4 or 5 double staffs per page. The books which try to fit in 6 or 7 double staffs are just impossible for me to read any more. This book is also the size of most lesson books. and not the size of a sheet of typing paper like some piano books.My main concern with this book are the 10 note spreads in the left hand on "Aint Misbehaving". I imagine the majority of female piano players are physically incapable of this. The piece really sounds lush until I get to that part. where it all breaks down. In the past. I have gotten around this in other pieces by making it an arpeggio or playing the upper note of the left hand chord with my right thumb. However. in this case I need my right hand to be playing a chord higher up. Also. I dont have time to arpeggio it while playing eighth notes in the right hand. If anybody has a solution for those of us who can only span an octave. I would appreciate your advice !35 of 36 people found the following review helpful. Favorite Jazz for Piano SoloBy CGIsacksonThis set of favorite jazz pieces is definitely for the high intermediate to advanced pianist. so folks with less skill will find this book something very interesting to work on.I found the harmony and chord progression arranged by Tom Roed to be especially interesting. giving each piece a unique quality that is reminiscent of the sound you get from a good recording of earlier pianists striving to give a Duke Ellington feel in a nice cocktail lounge. I purposely set my keyboard (Korg SV1 88) to an edgy Thelonious Monk-type piano from his earlier recordings. It has a slightly woody with an old upright piano sound that seems to enhance these great melodies in the book: Aint Misbehavin Dont Get Around Much Anymore Georgia On My Mind Killing Me Softly With His Song Linus and Lucy Mood Indigo On Green Dolphin Street Over The Rainbow Ribbon In The Sky The Shadow of Your Smile Take Five Taking A Chance On Love The Windmills Of Your Mind You Are The Sunshine Of My Life You Stepped Out Of A DreamNone of the pieces were what I expected. All were delightful. different. and pleasant and each had a unique flavor that I find hard to describe without simply referring you to the sheet music to see for yourself. I think this book is an important set of music that will give you a new approach to oldies that you once thought were poured in a concrete typeset.This is fine edition and I recommend it even if you have a dozen other copies of these titles. This IS different and charming.26 of 26 people found the following review helpful. Favorite Songs from a Favorite ArrangerBy Marcia BurnsIll buy most anything with Tom Roeds name on the cover! He is a master of harmony. creating a lush sound that is still simple enough for an intermediate pianist with a little patience to master. This book is my new favorite. Because my musical roots date back to the simple harmonies of the late 50s and early 60s. Roeds choice of complex harmonies are a challenge to my ears (and my fingers!). From the sophisticated ooze of a smooth "Aint Misbehavin." to a lovely "Somewhere over the Rainbow." to Dave Brubecks "Take Five" and Stevie Wonders "You Are the Sunshine of My Life." theres really something here for almost everyone. Tempo and dynamics are clearly marked for those of us unfamiliar with the originals. You might even make friends with music from an era completely outside your comfort zone.
