Jazz Piano Cocktails • Volume 3

Jazz Piano Cocktails Volume 3 is a collection of standards arranged and edited by Craig Stevens. The Jazz Cocktail series is designed for a skilled pianist who reads well but needs a bit of help when it comes to improvisation. This assortment of Popular Jazz Standards was created to assist a sound performer who has a cocktail gig and could use a few new flashy arrangements to liven up the teetotaling crowd.

From the bluesy “Bye Bye Blackbird” to the lavish, “Maria Elena”, these 13 great jazz solos will be a fantastic addition to your newly established jazz repertoire. This collection also includes a recorded performance of the entire assortment, so sit back, listen, and learn.

Upon its release in 2004, this third Jazz Piano Cocktails Edition was immediately selected by the highly respected NYSSMA organization as a required audition collection for all jazz piano student contests.
