Product description
A unique collection of jazz arrangements by the great Chuck Israels, who has spent many years honing his jazz arranging skills, besides being a legendary bassist with Bill Evans, Stan Getz, George Russell, etc.
The song list includes:
- Jazz-oriented lead sheets for Tin Pan Alley songs, like "The Man I Love," "You Made Me Love You," "Always," "Bye Bye Blackbird" and many more.
- Traditional Americana tunes, but given new life with Chuck Israels' hip, jazz sensibility — like "Shenandoah," "Wayfaring Stranger," and "Careless Love."
- Tunes that you and your audiences will recognize but have never been given jazz interpretations before. For example, please listen to "School Days," "Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair," "What'll I Do," etc. in the sample songs below.
- A half-dozen songs with more elaborate, three-voice arrangements, good for more concert-like situations.
"Years of exposure to the way Bill Evans worked gave me some understanding of his arranging methods, and they became an essential part of the way I hear accompaniments to songs. I became intrigued by the possibilities of applying this kind of meticulous approach to some wonderful public domain songs I knew of and this book is the result.”
— Chuck Israels
"The arrangements in this book evoke in me varied and unique emotions — wistfulness, a child-like simplicity, and nostalgia for a slower-paced, less frenetic era, among other things not usually associated with jazz. But thankfully jazz is a big tent and it just got bigger with the inclusion of a whole bunch of new vehicles for improvising. Enjoy!”
— Chuck Sher
