Just the thing for jazz fans with recently acquired or rusty piano skillsBy Sharon IschId put this collection at about one degree simpler and three degrees jazzier than most books of Shearing arrangements and a couple degrees easier than Daves book of arrangements from his Christmas album (which I dearly love). In short: the arrangements here are simplified but sound good. should be relatively easy to sight-read and master for anyone approaching intermediate level while. at the same time. giving improvisers some Brubeck basics to play around with.But dont just take my word for that. Go to the "see inside" feature here and print out the "Audrey" score shown and give it a go. Id say its a fair representation of the book as a whole.When shopping this site for piano music Im often frustrated by not being able to access a contents list. Im delighted to see thats not the case here. as you can find the complete 26-song list in the product information above. Unlike another reviewer here. I found that just a little heel-of-the-hand action made the pages lie flat for me.(Maybe its just that Ive gotten so used to having to do that with books like this. Ive come to expect it. although Ive been known to jump at the chance to buy score books that are spiral bound.)0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. highly recommendBy CustomerGreat book just as ordered. Love it.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. I can play Brubeck!By Ken MarranzinoIts an awesome feeling to be able to play the Brubeck songs Ive listened to for much of my life! Learning to play piano was on my bucket list; so I started (at 42) taking lessons last year. I have some musical background; so I picked it up fairly quickly. After I burned through my beginners book. I saw this one and had to order it. It has been my "lesson book" since. Im having a great time learning and playing these songs. although I think Im driving my wife and kids crazy because I play them all the time...
