Displaying all reviews (4)Jazz classic. Fairly easy to play, but quite difficult to play really well ... to capture the smooth flow necessary to make this piece sizzle. Dave Brubeck's finest. You can't go wrong!
Garry_Robinson
So enjoy playing this arrangement! It sounds really great on piano and moves well. Not too hard either.
Isabel_Marcheselli
This is a classic! I prefer it in key of F rather than Dave Brubeck's 5 flats.
This arrangement is true to the original and once you get used to counting in 5 you are away and will likely have a hard time getting that bass motif out of your head.
I have a Sax player who takes the lead against the bass line. I rate this piece excellent for the solo player and for combo work.
Eric_J_D_Hunter
The grading choices and keys are so helpful. I wish I had been aware of Music Notes before. I have a very keen adult student who has returned as an adult but who is about Grade III-IV level.
This simplified version and the option to change key to D minor makes this accessible for him.
