One of Pam Wedgwood’s acclaimed It’s Never Too Late to Play Piano books, It's Never Too Late to Play Jazz gives players the chance to learn about jazz as well as explore their favourite repertoire in easy-to-play arrangements.
The pieces are suitable for those who have been learning for about a year, or have completed the It’s Never Too Late to Play Piano tutor (also available from Waltons). This book guides the player through the different skills and techniques needed to play jazz, covering swing rhythm, syncopation, walking bass, blues and improvisation.
The pieces are gently progressive and include irresistible new pieces by Pam and Olly Wedgwood as well as plenty of jazz classics such as 'I Get a Kick out of You', 'A Nightingale Sang', 'My Baby Just Cares for Me' and 'As Time Goes By'. The accompanying CD contains both performance tracks and a range of backing tracks to bring your jazz playing to life.
