The Jazz Piano Player series is an essential resource for all jazz pianists, with each volume featuring 16 classic jazz standards. Designed both for players wanting to make the transition into jazz, as well as for jazz pianists keen to develop their own personal style, each standard is presented in two different formats: The first version of each song includes the melody, lyrics and basic chord structure, ideal for improvisation; the second version is a superb arrangement for piano solo, suitable for intermediate-level pianists. All the songs are in their standard keys, enabling pianists to play with other jazz musicians, and the free CD features performances of all the piano arrangements.
