Si La Ves

At one time it used to be said, disparagingly, by people who should have known better, that Bill Evans was in reality not a jazz player at all. He was, they claimed, no more than a superior kind of cocktail pianist. Though somewhat misguided, it's easy to see where the idea comes from: the mistaken belief that the only essential element in jazz is 'swing' and, consequently, "it don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing"!

In all too many churches, the pianist is locked into a rotation of favorite hymns or praise & worship songs. Playing them repeatedly is monotonous for both the player and the congregation! This book was created to give church pianists options, and let them add color and freshness to familiar melodies. Includes: 12 traditional harmonizations of familiar melodies (seasonal & non-seasonal); 12 new arrangements of the same songs featuring altered chords (mostly jazz harmonies); and a Cool Chords section featuring 3 chords from each arrangement.

A dozen contemporary expressions of worship for solo piano: Beautiful One • Enough • Forever • Holy Is the Lord • Shout to the North • You Are My King • more. Includes chord symbols and optional interludes.

This comprehensive book/CD pack provides you with the tools you need to play in a variety of authentic gospel styles, through a study of rhythmic devices, grooves, melodic and harmonic techniques, and formal design. The accompanying CD features over 90 tracks, including piano examples as well as the full gospel band to help capture the true flavor of the style.

Following the style of the popular piano folio Gospel Improv comes the latest signature collection for solo pianists: Hymprov - Contemporary Improvisations for Solo Piano. This dynamic piano folio features 12 tasteful contemporary arrangements of classic hymns appropriate for any contemporary or blended worship setting. Arranged by talented veteran Larry Dalton at the medium difficult level, the addition of chord symbols and performance notes will help pianists to better understand the harmonic structure of each arrangement. Specific insights into the art of improvisation are also included for pianists wanting to incorporate fresh, new harmonies into their playing.

Now from Word Music's top arrangers comes this great sequel to the bestselling Big Blue Book (00309713).
