Review: Another Fine Artist Songbook from Mel Bay
This sixteen-page collection of orginial songs by Sarah Watts will delight her jazz fans and piano students alike. It is a nice publication from Mel Bay Publications, demonstrating an intimate approach to "shades of blue" as only Watts can paint them!
The Shades of Blue songbook includes quality transcriptions of "Angels," "Catz," "Chandelier Secrets," Curtain Call," "Different Light," "Firecrackers," "Frost and Fir Trees," "Hammock Attack," "Hotel Metropole," "Petite Fille," "Pigeon Holes," and "Scary Stuff." Each song is fun to play on the piano, revealing Watt's intimate sense of swing.
If you enjoy Sarah Watts' music, this collection of her original pieces for jazz piano will be a most welcome delight. A recommended collection from a creative contemporary composer!
