Description
Many pianists find styles like boogie, blues, ragtime, and swing captivating, yet these genres can pose challenges for students. Composer Robert Vandall has addressed this issue by crafting pieces in his Celebrated series that eliminate obstacles to student performances. Each "jazzy solo" is designed to introduce learners to essential elements of jazz, including specific scales, harmonies, rhythms, or forms. Book 1 features a selection of popular Vandall jazz compositions alongside newly created works, such as Blues Jaunt, Bruce's Boogie, Hammock Blues, Harmony Rag, Hurry Up!, Sidewalk Strut, Slide Easy, Stepping Stones, Stomping Five, and Two Hands Boogie.
