GERSHWIN BY SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT is a collection of 11 songs arranged forthe instrumentalist wanting to play in a jazz style--without the need tolearn to improvise. The "classically" trained amateur or professionalperformer, or the intermediate-level (III-IV) student, will enjoy playingthese expertly-arranged Gershwin melodies just for fun, or to include as a"light" piece on a recital or solo-feature concert performance. Theballads, medium-tempo, and up-tempo swing tunes are arranged in aplay-through of the melody, followed by a written-out "variation" chorus,a return to the melody, and an ear-catching ending. The piano, bass, anddrum accompaniment CD will put you right in the band. The CD includesboth the solo instrument with the accompaniment track and an accompanimentalone track for each selection. The inexperienced performer can learn theappropriate style of playing and be comfortable playing in the jazz stylebefore playing along with the rhythm section track. All of the books arefor the most part compatible, with only minimal changes in the "variation"section to accommodate ranges (sometimes including octave options) andunique characteristics of the instruments--but all CAN be played together.The three-line piano accompaniment book provides a rhythmic "comping" withchord voicings written out, plus the flute part to help in following thesoloist, or even for the piano to take a chorus. For the jazzer, here isa chance to learn Gershwin tunes and explore playing ballads and the swingstyle of popular standards. Chord symbols are included to allow forimprovisation. In combining his jazz-keyboard chops, his 25 years as aband director, and his superb composing and arranging skills, CarlStrommen presents a fully-playable, exciting, and tastefully-arrangedcollection of these immortal and memorable Gershwin titles: I GOT RHYTHM *BUT NOT FOR ME * EMBRACEABLE YOU * A FOGGY DAY * FASCINATING RHYTHM * I'VEGOT A CRUSH ON YOU * S'WONDERFUL * HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN GOING ON * NICEWORK IF YOU CAN GET IT * SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME * STRIKE UP THE BAND.Available for flute/oboe, clarinet, alto sax, tenor sax, trumpet, horn inF, trombone/baritone/bassoon, and piano accompaniment.
