Cocktail Piano: Piano: Instrumental Album

â??Ragtime Bluesâ? first appeared in Mike Cornickâ??s â??Piano Ragtimeâ? ( UE30413 ) which was published in 1997. This piece became very popular and featured on piano syllabuses in the UK and Australia. It encouraged Mike Cornick to write eight more pieces in similar styles. The result was an album of refreshing new compositions at a medium level of difficulty. Among them are two arrangements for solo piano:â??Waltz for Lauraâ? and â??Be-Bopâ? â?? two pieces originally written for piano four hands. They first appeared in 1995 in the edition â??Easy Jazzy Duetsâ? ( UE16577 ). With this volume Mike Cornick once again proves his sense for good playable literature that is fun for audience and performers alike.

It is no secret that the majority of piano owners in addition to playing classical music would also like to play popular standards and pop songs just like the piano player in a bar or cocktail lounge does improvising and going from one tune to another. How nice it would be if one could sit down to the piano at home or at a party producing all those lovely melodies by ear. Unfortunately up till now there has not been a single useful method that teaches how to acquire this ability; one that is written in a simple manner and starting from the basics. Here finally you hold in your hands an absolutely new and simple method that will enable you to fulfill your secret wish toimprovise at the piano completely by ear. I have the feeling that one of these days everyone who owns a piano a keyboard instrument or a synthesizer will own this book.

Improvisatory and lyrical in style this is Butler's version of abstract cocktail lounge music. It takes inspiration from a phonograph recording of Debussy playing the piano with a truly magical tone luminous and deep. There are also (for those with very quick ears) one or two fleeting quotes from his works.
