Mark Hayes never misses!

Gospel songs beautifully and imaginatively arranged, as you'd expect from Mark Hayes! I love the unexpected touches that make his arrangements such a joy to play and hear. Listening to the CD really helps me learn the pieces. Not for a casual pianist, but can be learned by a competent...
