Classics To Jazz • Bach

The Classics to Jazz series features some of the most popular masterworks from four incredible composers; Johann Sebastian Bach, Carl Czerny, Charles-Louis Hanon, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Each classic piece, study, or exercise is presented in its original form, then the same piece, study, or exercise is arranged on the very next page with a different look, sound, and feel in an art form we call Jazz! Classics to Jazz is a great educational tool for an advancing pianist who’s making the transition from Classic training to the world of Jazz.

These curiously irresistible melodies, finessed by Jonathon Robbins, will grab your soul right out of the gate. All these, “now” swingin’, classics will quickly become your most favorite tunes, studies, or exercises in your entire music library.

Recently chosen by NYSSMA as an audition necessity for jazz piano, this particular edition features the works of J.S. Bach (1685-1750), presented with a twist and certainly not for the faint of the heart.
