Jazz and Contemporary Pieces

Three pieces in this volume are set on the new London College of Music Jazz piano Syllabus. This is a new book for pianists who like the jazz / gospel and contemporary styles. A great way to bridge the gap between the grades. 6 pieces in various styles: Boogie Suzie - the clue is in the title! A lively boogie piece, Grade 3/4 What a friend we have in Jesus - a contemporary gospel arrangement - Grade 4/5 Just a moment - a contemporary piece with space for a short improvisation - Grade 4/5 Waltz of the pearls - a short waltz - grade 3 Mondiglio march - a fun and lively contemporary piece - Grade 3/4 Under the blossom tree - a contemporary yet melodic piece, gentle and hypnotic. Grade 5/6 Try before you buy!
