River Rhythms: Five Contemporary Jazz Solos.(Audiobook review)
River Rhythms: Five Contemporary Jazz Solos, by Kevin Olson. The FJH Music Company Inc. (Westport Business Park, 2525 Davie Rd., Ste. 360, Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33317), 2005. 23 pp. $5.50. Late intermediate.
What keeps a book lingering on your piano rack? Do you aspire to play what's inside? Perhaps you want people to know what cool pieces you can play? Maybe the songs are satisfying and they feel good to your hands?
For these reasons you'll want River Rhythms: Five Contemporary Jazz Solos at your piano. Five rivers are masterfully navigated to explore the contemporary and crossover jazz sounds everyone likes.

If you have time, play the whole suite to tickle an audience. An intermediate or advanced player will shine at any kind of gig.
