Again, this one offers many of the favorites by the great composer as well as some gems that are seldom played. The piano part is orchestrated in a way that elevates each composition and offers insights into Johnny Mandel’s incredible arranging skills. This book offers a masterclass on voice leading and how to create chord movement.
