The Singer’s Jazz Anthology is an exciting series that provides aspiring jazz vocalists and pianists with staples of the jazz repertoire. The singer’s portion, matching the original sheet music, is paired with fresh, unique accompaniments arranged in an authentic jazz style and designed to enable the singer to sound like they’re being backed by an accomplished jazz pianist. The accompaniments can be performed as written but include chord labels for pianists who are comfortable playing their own chord voicings. The included audio – recordings of the printed accompaniments, performed by the series arranger, Brent Edstrom – can be used by the vocalist in rehearsal or in performance.
Songs include: All I Want for Christmas Is You • Blue Christmas • Christmas Time Is Here • Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas • I’ve Got My Love to Keep Me Warm • Mary, Did You Know? • The Most Wonderful Time of the Year • Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree • Santa Baby • White Christmas • and more.
Audio is accessed online using the unique code inside the book and can be streamed or downloaded. The audio files include PLAYBACK+, a multi-functional audio player that allows you to slow down audio without changing pitch, set loop points, change keys, and pan left or right.
