Jazz Piano Cocktails • Christmas Edition

Jazz Piano Cocktails • Christmas Edition is the best collection of popular Christmas songs ever assembled for Jazz Piano. The Jazz Cocktail series is designed for a skilled pianist, who reads quite well, but is no Oscar Peterson when it comes to improvisation.

This particular edition arranged by Craig Stevens was written for a pianist who just booked a holiday gig and could use a few flashy arrangements of Popular Christmas Songs to convince the “teetotalin’ crowd” to get up off their stools and sing-along.

This “fifth edition” containing forty-eight pages of masterfully arranged Christmas classics will have everyone singing, smiling, and searching for the mistletoe. From the Classic standard “Joy to the World” to the fun-filled chorus of “Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer” from Saint Nicholas Music, learning these 13 great jazz solos will be a wonderful way to wind down the holiday season and welcome in the New Year.
