Bärenreiter Jazzy Piano Music Book

Ready to Play series presents pieces which are easy to sight-read but still sound effective. Jean Kleeb is known for his highly sensitive and stylistically solid jazz piano arrangements of familiar tunes and even classical works. This new selection is based on sharply contrasting pieces that he has transformed into appealing jazz numbers. Among them are “El pueblo unido” (Sergio Ortega), “Jamaica farewell” (traditional), “Passacaglia Jazz” (Jean Kleeb), an English and a German folk song and a new Brahms arrangement.
