Jazz Piano Cocktails • Volume 2

Jazz Piano Cocktails • Volume Two is the second of five editions from our extremely successful series with collections of the most popular jazz standards arranged for intermediate to advanced Jazz Piano.

This Jazz Piano Series is designed for a skilled pianist who reads well but needs a bit of help when it comes to improvisation. These books were created to assist a sound performer who has a cocktail gig and could use a few flashy arrangements to liven up the teetotaling crowd.

This second edition was also arranged by the late, great, Bob Kail whose occupation as a cocktail pianist in “Manhattan” would place him at any Five-Star Hotel on any given night. Needless to say, Bob certainly knew his way around all 88 and this bestseller includes a recording of every jazz standard, so just sit back, listen, and learn.

Upon release in 2003, this Jazz Piano Edition was also selected by the board of the highly respected NYSSMA Organization as a required audition collection for all jazz piano student contests.
