Jazz at Christmas (Piano Solo Songbook) [Paperback] Review

When we first received Jazz at Christmas we were disappointed because it was not a fake book with modernized chords, which is the usual for the rest of Frank Mantooth's books. In other words, the songs are all written out arrangements. It didn't even have chord symbols. My wife, who is the real piano player, wanted to create her own arrangments with Sudnow-type chords, so she intended to ignore it. However, just for kicks, she read through a few arrangements (she's not a real strong reader) and was very enchanted with a lot of the fills and structure. She wound up creating a couple of new arrangments using her own interpretation of the chord structure and a lot of the Mantooth fills. They are exciting and colorful as a result, and definitely gave her some insights that she wouldn't have come up with on her own.
