Description
Jazz styles such as boogie, blues, ragtime, and swing captivate many pianists, yet they can pose challenges for students. Composer Robert Vandall has addressed this issue by crafting a series of "jazzy solos" that eliminate obstacles to student performances. Each piece in this celebrated collection is designed to introduce students to essential elements of jazz, including specific scales, harmonies, rhythms, and forms. Notable titles in the series include Illini Romp, Movin', New Philly Blues, North Broadway Blues, Riff Frenzy, Rock Zone, Shooting Stars, and Strawberry Patch Rag.
