A Country Piano Christmas

Author: Devan Archer
Publisher: Mel Bay Publications
ISBN: 1513459414
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 44

Book Description
This book presents extended solo piano settings of eight Christmas favorites plus a new take on “Brahms’ Lullaby,” all with a touch of country keyboard technique. Each intermediate to advanced arrangement is replete with anticipatory grace notes, a bit of western swing harmony and rhythm in the classic country style popularized by Floyd Cramer. Author/arranger Devan Archer has added his own brand of challenging counterpoint. The “Nashville Sound” has long been a presence in gospel, pop and rock music but appears here in a Christmas repertoire, perhaps for the first time. “Good King Wenceslas” and “God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen” have never swung so hard! Includes access to online electronic audio.

Vince Guaraldi at the Piano, 2d ed.

Author: Derrick Bang
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476652236
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 479

Book Description
Although Vince Guaraldi's playful jazz piano themes for the early Peanuts animated television specials are well known, the composer himself remains largely unheralded. More than merely "the Peanuts guy," Guaraldi cut his jazz teeth as a member of combos fronted by Cal Tjader and Woody Herman, and garnered Top 40 fame with his Grammy Award-winning hit "Cast Your Fate to the Wind." This career study, extensively updated, gives Guaraldi long-overdue recognition, chronicling his years as a sideman; his attraction to the emerging bossa nova sound of the late 1950s; his collaboration with Brazilian guitarist Bola Sete; his development of the Grace Cathedral Jazz Mass; his selection as the fellow to put the jazz swing in Charlie Brown's step; and his emergence as a respected veteran in the declining Northern California jazz club scene of the 1970s. Ironically, his place in the jazz universe has grown exponentially since this book's initial 2012 publication, and this second edition acknowledges such honors and features a wealth of new material.
