It has been over 20 years since I released the first volume of ?100 Ultimate Blues Riffs for Piano/Keyboards? in 1996 my most popular selling book. One of the constants has been the continued popularity of my Blues music instructional books for not only piano/keyboards but also Saxophone Flute and Guitar. With developments in music software faster internet download speeds for downloading mp3 audio files (over 5 hours of downloadable audio backing tracks for this book) I felt it was time to author a 2nd volume that uses newer software for improved sound quality. Also it is the 50th anniversary since I started to learn to play Blues piano in 1968. Iremember the wonderful feeling I had when I started to learn from the first two Blues piano books I bought from a music shop along the Charing Cross Road in London I still have both books ?Just Blues? a compilation of Blues Jazz and Boogie-Woogie songs and ?How To Play Blues Piano? by Junior Mance. I have again created 100 Blues riffs with many of them having elements of Rock Funk Country Jazz Boogie-Woogie Gospel and Latin styles. The riffs are in the order that I composed them giving you the learner an element of surprise as to what the next riff is going to sound like. Each of the 100 riffs have been recorded twice the 1st time the piano part with a rhythm backing track and the 2nd time a rhythm backing track to practice playing along with. I have also created a separate play-a-long track that consists of 10 choruses of the 12 Bar Blues progression. I would hope that you will use each riff to build your own Blues ?song? through the 12 Bar Blues progression.

Born into a family that had lived in Florence since the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492 Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco (1895-1968) entertained only a distant relationship with the music he heard at synagogue: a Renaissance church held more appeal for the Florentine artist than the Oriental décor of his forefathers’ place of worship. It was only when he discovered Schelemo a rhapsody for cello and orchestra written in 1916 by Ernest Bloch that he began to understand what “Jewish music” could be. It would take until the death of his maternal grandfather and the discovery of a collection of prayers set to music among his papers for the youngCastelnuovo-Tedesco to begin to explore Jewish music. In 1928 two years after publishing the Dances of King David he wrote this Vocalise-Étude for medium voice and piano at the request of vocal teacher Amédée-Landély Hettich who wanted to include it in the Répertoire moderne de Vocalises-Études published by Leduc. The piece became so popular that it led to several adaptations and the composer asked his close friend Gioacchino Maglioni (1891-1966) to transcribe it for violin and piano. Divided into three sections the work opens with a poignant lamento that grieves the tragic fate of the Jewish people. Countering what he felt to be a tendency of Jewish music to transform into a “Wailing Wall” Castelnuovo-Tedesco follows the lamento with a folk dance whose brisk “lively and stubborn” movement has great panache. The third section returns to the initial poignant theme before briefly reiterating the dance motif allowing the piece to conclude on a hopeful note.

Reggae superstar Eddy Grant has had a long and distinguished career and a string of hits from his first No. 1 back in 1968 ('Baby Come Back' with the Equals) to the classic 'Gimme Hope Jo'Anna' and 'Electric Avenue'. He is currently enjoying something of a revival with his new 'Best of' album released in June 2008 and his first UK tour for more than twenty years taking in festivals such as Glastonbury and T in The Park as well as plenty of major UK venues. This songbook includes twelve of his greatest hits as featured in his 'Best of' album 'Road to Reparation' arranged for piano voice and guitar.

These Six Studies (Study-Variations) Op. 56 were composed between 1968-69. The premier was performed in 1972 by Colin Kingsley in the Freemason's Hall in Edinburgh. It is one of several sets of variations which Leighton wrote for the piano. The variations are based on chord formations of four notes outlined in the opening bars. Each of the six movements explores some particular aspect of technique and texture and whether in the stabbing insistence of the second and sixth movements the bell-like intonations of the third or the capriciousness of the fourth Leighton maintains an instinctive idiomatic ease throughout.
