Book Reviews of George Shearing Interpretations for Piano
Book Review: Awesome arrangements!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book several years ago, but I think it was a little too hard for me to play at the time, and I put it away. Once in a while I bring out older purchases again, and I most often find that I play the pieces out of a book better than the last time, I had it out.
Recently I brought out this Shearing collection, and I started from page one. As I turned the pages, I soon realized, as 'A Customer' also wrote in another review of this book, that these arrangements are excellent! They sound great, they are varied, and they are challenging enough that you feel you grow and learn new stuff as you go. The arrangements are definitely not for beginners, but if you have a couple of years of serious studies behind you, then I think you might enjoy this book as much as I know I will.
Summary of George Shearing Interpretations for Piano
The Shearing sound is the epitome of sophisticated jazz. This great collection shows off Mr. Shearing's tasty rhythm patterns, such as in "Lullaby of Birdland," his amazing harmonic progressions, such as in "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," his sense of musical humor, such as in "All I Do is Dream of You," and also a touch of Mr. Shearing's classical influences, such as with "An Affair to Remember." Most of his delightful arrangements are within reach of the late intermediate level pianist, and they make a wonderful bridge between the classics and the wide field of jazz repertoire.Instruments & Performers Books
