Borstelmann J. Jazzy Xmas Piano

20 CHRISTMAS CAROLS IN JAZZY OUTFITS POUR PIANO

AUTEUR: JURGEN BORTSTELMANN

STYLE: Jazz

NIVEAU: 2me Cycle

COMMENTAIRE: One more reason to look forward to Christmas: « Jazzy Xmas » is here! Jürgen Borstelmann has jazzed up a selection of 20 Christmas carols, many of them known around the world. After Borstelmann’s tremendously successful first project with Breitkopf, « Jazzy Birthday » (EB 8770), he now turns his attention to another big day of the year and spices it up with groovy yet technically easy jazz riffs ‘n’ rhythms. While the melodies are either left untouched or only slightly altered, the short preludes are conceived more freely, and they make a good starting point for improvisations. We all know how long those nights before Christmas can be…
