In the style of his hit collection, The Professional Touch, here Lou Stein presents a starter collection for beginning players who want to develop their jazz style. The tunes chosen are simple and recognizable; the arrangments are usually a single line with each hand, but Stein sneaks in a jazzy riff here and there. Mr. Stein also presents an introduction to jazz harmonies. Studying these arrangements will give you insight into developing your playing style. All solos are performed by Mr. Stein on the enclosed CD.
