After Hours Jazz 1 is a superb collection of original pieces as well as arrangements of your favourite jazz standards by Pam Wedgwood for the Grade 3-5 pianist. Relax with the lush harmonies and laid-back melodies of many well-known pieces as well as some great original repertoire.
I have long been a fan of Pam Wedgwood's 'After Hours' books (I've used them for myself for relaxation, for pupils who need a break from classical styles, for sight-reading practice and for fun) and was delighted to see this jazz addition to the series. I have always harboured a secret ambition to be a 'cool' jazz pianist but know (after a couple of jazz workshops) that this is never going to happen. However, I can pretend and almost pass for one when I have a book like this and so can most of my Grade 4 and upwards pupils....The pieces are approximately Grade 4-6 and are all beautifully written, sound absolutely true to the originals and are genuine jazz delights
