Jazz, Blues & Ragtime Violin & Piano

Description

Jazz, Blues & Ragtime includes some favourite melodies like “Take Five”, “The Entertainer”, “House of the Rising Sun” and “Makin’ Whoopee” arranged for violin

Most violinists long to play jazz – and then get left on the sidelines as the clarinets, trumpets or guitars boogie away. Yet the violin has always had a role in jazz, with its own virtuoso exponents like Joe Venuti, Stuff Smith and Stephane Grappelli. A flexible format and extra optional parts makes these ideal for solos, duets, or a larger folk band.

The full range of traditional fiddle repertoire is now at your fingertips! Using these generous collections, you can create your own ceilidh, barn dance, jazz club, Sarajevo street-café or Gypsy gathering. Some of this music is familiar, some more exotic, but all of it is absolutely authentic, faithfully arranged and, above all, hugely enjoyable.
