John Kember’s Jazz Piano Player books are both for players wanting to make the transition into jazz as well as for jazz pianists keen to develop their own personal style.
Each volume includes 16 classic jazz standards, each presented in two formats. The first version includes the melody, lyrics and basic chord structure. The second version is a superb full arrangement for piano solo.
All the songs are in their standard keys, enabling pianists to play with other jazz musicians. Plus the accompanying free CD features performances of all the piano arrangements.
