8 original pieces for the early intermediate to intermediate pianist

MARTHA MIER

FOREWORD Jazz is an important and distinctive American contribution to 20th-century music.

Jazz, Rags and Blues, Book Two, contains eight original solos that reflect the various

styles of the jazz idiom. From the lyrical, sophisticated sound of "Misty Night Blues," to

the bouncy, happy beat of "Jelly Bean Rag," students will love the challenge of playing in

the jazz style.

Jazz is fun to play! Students will be inspired and motivated by the syncopated rhythms

and the colorful, rich harmonies of jazz-a style which has captured the imagination of

performer and listener alike!
