Product Description:
Boogie, blues, ragtime, swing and other jazz styles are irresistible to most pianists, but not always accessible to student pianists. Composer Robert Vandall has removed all barriers to successful student performances, by making sure that each ""jazzy solo"" in this Celebrated series cleverly introduces students to a specific jazz scale, harmony, rhythm or form. Book 1 contains favorite Vandall jazz solos, as well as some newly composed pieces. Titles: Blues Jaunt
* Bruces Boogie
* Hammock Blues
