Book Reviews of The Big Klezmer Fake Book
Book Review: Suitable for all levels of Klezmer musicians
Summary: 5 Stars
This is definitely a simple piano fake book. The large variety of songs is the best feature of the book. This is not a "how to play" Klezmer instruction book, and if all the pianist does is follow the chords and the melody, there is nothing exciting about it. But the book is perfect for any instrument as a take-off point. In the case of more experienced players, the chords help to create satisfactory improvisations. The titles of the songs are not always those I associate with the music, but that is a minor inconvenience and is no great surprise.
