This volume contains a wide selection of famous musical themes from Bach to Carl Orff. Some of them were originally written for the piano. most have had their scores carefully arranged to make them easy to play on the piano. Each piece is followed with a jazz interpretation, which can either be played alone or alongside the 'original' version. Perhaps this will show that the 'classics' are not all that far removed from jazz, and that music of earlier periods contains many of the essential characteristics of jazz. Doesn't Lully's 'Gavotte', for instance, contain one of the most famous jazz themes ever? The 'Blue Gavotte' may make this clearer. The theme from Mozart's Sonata in A major (K 331) doesn't require many rhythmic changes to give it a blues flavour ('Mozart Goes Blues'). The driving rhythm of the ostinato bass in Carl Orff's 'O Fortuna' would suit modern jazz-rock performers well, with a few small changes ('A Fortune for a Tune'). What do Bizet's 'Habanera', Brahms' 'Hungarian Dance No. 5' and Paganini's 'Caprice No. 24' have in common? Why have they been turned into salsa music ('Habanera con Cigarro', 'Hungarian Salsa No. 5', 'Capriccio Latino')? Much of this is up to the individual: if you want to discover similarities, they are easy to find.

The concert piece Paganini Jazz by Fazil Say, which was inspired by classical, modern and jazz styles, is reminiscent of the music of such greats as Scott Joplin, Art Tatum, Gershwin and Bernstein, and was originally designed as a charming encore work (1988). following the appreciative response of music lovers and, in particular, that of music critics, it was transformed over a perion of time into a more substantial work for piano. Briefly, the piece was rewritten and expanded a number of times between 1988 and 1995. We can evaluate the work as having taken its inspiration from Paganini's renowned 24th Capriccio, transforming it into variations on jazz requiring virtuoso rendition as well as being a creation open to the addition of improvisations and a variety of arrangements.
Throughout music history a number of composers have written various works inspired by the 24th Capriccio. We can count among them Liszt, Brahms, Rachmaninov and Lutoslavski. In Say's work, however, .a different aspect must be noted: the composer is prepared to add various developmental passages and transitional improvisations while interpreting this work in concert. Furthermore, when the work is considered as a short encore piece, it is abbreviated in a manner deemed suitable by Say.

Adding to his two successful editions 'Little Stories in Jazz' (ED 7186) and 'Piano Studies in Pop' (ED 7304), Mike Schoenmehl wrote the collection 'Jazz for Two' for piano duet. Originally published in two volumes, the work was reedited in one volume in our new edition. Schoenmehl's commitment in the field of education to make rock, pop and jazz music accessible to pupils in a fun way shows here too: rhythm, harmony, melody, form and phrasing of popular music shall be imparted on the pupils by means of these fifteen entertaining jazz and pop pieces. Some of the pieces are even accompanied by exemplary exercises and educational remarks. Illustrated with funny drawings by Marcus Reinheimer.

The fact that classical music and jazz are not mutually exclusive is proven by the new volume in the popular series by Uwe Korn: For the tune book, 10 classical themes have been carefully arranged for flute and piano and made into jazz pieces for two. Great fun to play.

'Fun with Jazz Flute' is a series for beginners of any age, a way of
complementing traditional teaching material with an introduction to the characteristics of pop and jazz.
