Featuring some amazing tunes like the bop classic Anthropology, Coltrane's improvisational masterpiece My Favourite Things and Miles Davis' post-bop, impressionistic So What. Some other well-known tunes include Mood Indigo, Honeysuckle Rose, All The Things You Are, La Vie En Rose, and jazz arrangements of songs like Singin' In The Rain and Strawberry Fields Forever. These are just a minute selection of the wealth of brilliant songs in this Piano Playbook and, whether you play your favourites or discover new ones, there will undoubtedly be a huge number that you fall in love with playing. With some songs arranged for solo Piano, and some for Piano and Vocals, this Playbook really is a wonderful collection.

You are guaranteed to love playing these songs, and your audience is sure to love hearing them as much. Like the rest of the Piano Playbook series, this book of Jazz Standards sheet music boasts a great many incredible tunes in a durable and convenient format.

Some were meant to be jazz tunes, but some Great American Songbook tunes were appropriated by ingenious musicians. This Piano Playbook, however, is one of the best guides out there. A comprehensive collection of fantastic jazz standards, you are sure to love playing each and every one.
