This collection, arranged by Brent Edstrom, is a fantastic teaching tool for intermediate to advanced piano students. The jazz-infused arrangements challenge students to develop rhythmic accuracy and explore complex harmony. Hal Leonard's engraving is clear and professional, which is crucial for readability. A great way to introduce students to sophisticated pop standards, fostering musicality and technique.

A solid choice for any solo piano gig. These jazz-infused pop standards are fresh and engaging, perfect for background music or feature spots. The inclusion of clear chord symbols is invaluable for on-the-fly improvisation, and the arrangements themselves are well-crafted and ready to play. With 98 pages, it offers plenty of material to keep sets varied and interesting.

I'm absolutely loving this Pop Standards collection! Playing jazz arrangements of classics like 'Imagine' and 'Moondance' is incredibly rewarding. While the 'jazz-infused' difficulty provides a good challenge, the pieces are so well-arranged by Brent Edstrom that you truly feel like you're sounding like a pro. It's a wonderful way to relax and enjoy playing timeless tunes.

While primarily piano solo arrangements, this collection offers a rich harmonic landscape for exploring pop standards. The jazz texture often integrates the melody, meaning a vocal coach would need to adapt it for accompaniment rather than sight-read directly. However, the accurate chord symbols are invaluable for creating custom support for singers, making it highly adaptable for creative vocal work.

I own a few books from this jazz series, and will continue to acquire more. The arrangements are always so beautifully done. I probably have a smile on my face the whole time Im playing, Lean on Me, Red, Red, Wine, and Save the Last Dance for Me. I...play those constantly, but I also play, God Only Knows, Just the Way You Are, Moondance, People Get Ready, and Stand By Me. I didnt think I liked the arrangement for that last one until I got it down just right. It wont sound right if you skimp on the rhythm at all. California Dreamin seems that way too. Im liking it much better now. I would say the arrangements are late intermediate through early advanced.

The difficulty level is beyond me, but, I mean, ..The arrangements are so overworked I had to look at the title to see what song I was playing. If you like chords like D6#13/b5 go for it. Gizzeled up chords all over the place. Not my cup of tea.
