The Jazz Piano Player: Stormy Weather

Features 16 jazz classics for piano. This title includes melody, lyrics and basic chord structure that is ideal for improvisation. It is suitable for various jazz pianists and for those who want to make a transition into jazz.

The reason these work so well where others often fall short of expectation is the sheer quality of the arrangements by John Kember. ... I love these books. They eclipse any others I have examined because they work. Nothing thin or weak, nothing merely derivative - and there''s even a bonus CD with all the pieces played by the arranger.

Piano Magazine, March 2009

The Jazz Piano Player: Stormy Weather contains 16 classic jazz standards in an ingenious new format for jazz pianists, arranged by John Kember. Each piece is presented in two formats: the first version includes melody, lyrics and basic chord structure, ideal for improvisation; the second version is a superb arrangement for piano solo, for intermediate level pianists.

All the songs are helpfully included in their standard keys so pianists will be able to play with other jazz musicians, and there is also a quick guide on piano jazz chords for added tutorial assistance. The downloadable online audio features full performances of all the arrangements by pianist John Kember for an enhanced learning mobility. 

The Jazz Piano Player Series is designed for those wanting to make the transition into jazz or pop piano playing. An essential new resource for all jazz pianists - a great way in for players wanting to make a transition into jazz, as well as for pianists wanting to develop their own style.
