Rhythms on the Keys. Jazz Pieces for Piano

The main character of jazz is RHYTHM. It is unpredictable and temperamental, it is an experimenter and a visionary. It loves to show tricks and be in the spotlight. It is impossible to anticipate or calculate. It is the chief adventurer and initiator of the mood of jazz. "What I really like about jazz is that I never know what will happen next," said American jazz trumpeter Bix Beiderbecke. And all because its homeland is distant Africa with its national ritual songs, with unique complex rhythms that were performed on various percussion instruments.
To feel the energy of jazz movement, one must start playing it, carefully counting (at the first stage) all the beats of the measure and continuously adhering to the dynamically moving forward energetic constant pulsation - the beat.
This collection features jazz pieces of varying levels of difficulty for use in the repertoire of middle and senior classes of music schools and for all jazz lovers.
