Two Jazz Moods

SKU: KN.61510

UPC: 822795615104.

This original for advancing groups definitely lives up to its name as it transitions through a variety of moods, swinging hard every step of the way. Adding to the appeal is an 11-bar chorale that's played slowly and freely, followed by a jazz waltz section. As in many of Lennie's works, this piece contains a great sax soli and a driving shout chorus. A guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson comes with each set. Duration ca. 6:00.

Jazz is a feeling, a sound, a mind-set that influences not only the ear, but also the hands, the fingers, the entire being of a performer. The contrast in tempi and moods of the pieces in this volume will acquaint the emerging pianist with some of the feelings, sounds and influences of an improvisational style of piano performance.
