15 Classic Standards in Custom Vocal Arrangements
15 essential standards have been given new arrangements tailor-made for singers, with alternative jazz chord changes, complete verses, introductions and singer-flattering endings.
This book is in a traditional jazz format designed for improvising accompaniments, with melody line, lyrics and chords in a handwritten music engraving style.
Traditional chord changes are also included, along with the alternative chords in Steve Rawlins' creative arrangements.
Keys in the Women's Edition are in a generally lower range, as is customary for this style of music.
The Men's Edition keys are in a medium range.
The CD features a professional jazz trio of piano, bass and drums.
