Smp_stars50 Great Gershwin

"I purchased "Great Gershwin Classics" for my husband, who is a retired musician,( although musicians never really retire!). He is now 81, and has been a disciple of Gershwin since he was 12 years old. He considers the book first class, both in layout, printing and most of all the arrangments. Needless to say he is delighted, and has introduced our granddaughter who is 17 andquite an accomplished pianist, to the delights of Gershwin"

Smp_stars50 Lovely to look at, delightful to hear

"Classic Gershwin tunes arranged for piano solo, easily embellished by an advanced player to become a nice accompaniment to vocals."

Smp_stars40 Very enjoyable

"I was able to sit and play the pieces I've heard through the years from many different movies and records that my parents' used to play on their stereo."

Smp_stars50 Good Selection, Pleasant Arrangements

"I liked the selection, which included some excellent songs that have rarely been available, including "They Can't Take That Away from Me," and "I've Got a Crush On You." I like the arrangements: they are probably the original sheet music releases, and they include Chord symbols to make it easier for advanced pianists to improvise."

Smp_stars50 great start for beginning Gershwin

"THese arrangements are great for the beginner to play. THe are not too difficult, but a beginner can get a feel for jazz right away. "

Smp_stars30 Definitely Not What I Expected

"This book is far from what I was expecting. I was wanting the original arrangements of Gershwin's songs, but these were so watered down and easy. Don't waste your money if you want true Gershwin."

Smp_stars50 One Word: Amazing!!!

"I bought this book a couple of years ago, and i have to admit that it has been one of the best investments i've ever done. Imagine that you can actually perfom as Ira or George did, i mean, it's awesome. I have nithing more to say but thanks for releasing this book to market. We happy costumers really appreciate that. Thanks."

Smp_stars50 GREAT GERSHWIN!

"I just had to write something about this book. If you enjoy the music of Gershwin, especially the lush and complex piano chords/jazz sounds, you will love this book. It brings alive and to your own "ivory-fingertips" some very memorable songs, and even some obscure ones and some portions of the classical pieces adapted for piano. I can't get enough of this music--it sounds so fabulous on the piano. It also contains guitar chords and vocal lines, of course. If you would like to play Gershwin, buy this book! Some of the rhythms and chords are complex, but if you are moderate to advanced in your ability, and know the tunes, you'll have a great time with this one! "

Smp_stars30 hardly worth it

"I received this as a present for Christmas. I wouldn't recommend buying it. It's not in the correct keys, and it's not the correct music. It has the vocal part in the music. If that's what you're looking for, then go for it, but from a pianist's view, and also looking at it from a vocalist's view, it's not a wise investment."
