DESCRIPTION:
This folio offers exact transcriptions of his performances of ten beloved standards: The Best Thing for You * I Walk with Music * In the Still of the Night * It Was Written in the Stars * It's So Peaceful in the Country * Jubilee * The Man That Got Away * On a Slow Boat to China * One for My Baby (And One More for the Road) * Skylark.. (Artist Transcriptions). In a crowded field, Charlap is widely considered one of the world's best jazz pianists
"too busy" according to jazzbaby. The notation is pages long per piece and not something that appeals to me. Very few recognizable tunes. Too much flowery passages. I hoped to get easy to sing with arrangements like he plays with Tony Bennett.
