The pieces in this book are from the Golden Age of song writing, which have stood the test of time to become 'standards' for jazz musicians as well as singers. They represent the pinnacle of the art of melody writing, combining brilliant lyrics with wonderful harmonies. This series aims to help aspiring jazz pianists (whether soloists, accompanists to singers or instrumentalists, or pianists in a band or jazz group) to understand and get these jazz standards firmly 'under their fingers'.
