The Joy of Jazz

Jazz in American.
It reached every corner of the world.
Performers interpret it differently.
Yet it retains its unmistakable rhythmic, harmonic and melodic profile.
It pictures the warmth of New Orleans.
It relates the 'cool sound' with the tempo of the big city.
The works of the biggest personalities in the world of jazz—Charlie Parker, Thelonious Monk, Fats Waller, and Dizzy Gillespie—make up only part of this comprehensive collection.
Ragtime, Dixieland, bebop, modern jazz, and rock are all well represented.
This is not a frivolous excursion into the 'pop' field.
Easy to medium grade piano solos.
