My First Gershwin Song Book: Easy Piano: Instrumental Album

The American Song Book contains beautiful reproductions of original sheet music of the Tin Pan Alley Era. This book places these songs in historical context and provides fascinating and amusing backgrounds to the songs. Based on original archival research. The American Song Book Volume I: The Tin Pan Alley Era is the first in a projected five-volume series of books that will reprint original sheet music including covers of songs that constitute the enduring standards of Irving Berlin Jerome Kern the Gershwins and other lyricists and composers of what has been called the 'Golden Age' of American popular music. These songs havedone what popular songs are not supposed to do-stayed popular. They have been reinterpreted year after year generation after generation by jazz artists such as Charlie Parker and Art Tatum Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong. In the 1950s Frank Sinatra began recording albums of these standards and was soon followed by such singers as Tony Bennet Doris Day Willie Nelson and Linda Ronstadt. In more recent years these songs have been reinterpreted by Rod Stewart Harry Connick Jr. Carly Simon Lady GaGa K.D. Laing Paul McCartney and most recently Bob Dylan. As such these songs constitute the closest thing America has to a repertory of enduring classical music. In addition to reprinting the sheet music for these classic songs authors Philip Furia and Laurie Patterson place these songs in historical context with essays about the sheet-music publishing industry known as Tin Pan Alley the emergence of American musical comedy on Broadway and the 'talkie' revolution that made possible the Hollywood musical. The authors also provide biographical sketches of songwriters performers and impresarios such as Florenz Ziegfeld. In addition they analyze the lyrical and musical artistry of each song and relate anecdotes sometimes amusing sometimes poignant about how the songs were created. The American

Arrangements In Vestapol Tuning-'The Open D Tuning (D A D F# A D) also referred to as the Vestapol tuning is a powerful and evocative tuning that was widely used by guitarists in the 1920s to play country blues ballads rags and folk tunes. In this lesson I focus on arranging five of my favorite blues melodies in Vestapol plus an original instrumental.The religious tune When I Lay My Burden Down was in the repertoire of both Black and White traditional guitarists. I have arranged it in an Elizabeth Cotten/Mississippi John Hurt style. The beautiful blues Goin' To Germany was recorded by the Cannon's Jug Stompers in the 1920s. I have always wanted to find the right setting for this melodic countryblues and the Vestapol tuning gave me the feel and textures that I was looking for. Sam McGee played guitar behind Uncle Dave Macon when he recorded I've Got The Morning Blues in Vestapol. This is a fun tune to play and leads nicely in to Hesitation Blues a song recorded by many artists. My arrangement tries to combine a sliding jug sound with some funky blues licks. Peg Leg Howell's Skin Game Blues is a rare example of an early blues song with three distinct sections. Peg Leg played this with a bottleneck but for our arrangement we will rely on our fingers to make the notes sing out.We finish the lesson with Innocence Abroard. An original instrumental that ties together the right and left hand techniques we have studied.A detailed tab/music booklet is included as a PDF file on the DVD. Each tune is taught phrase by phrase and played slowly on a split-screen. Bonus audio tracks of the original 1920s recordings are included. These are the records I first heard that influenced me to rearrange the melodies to the Vestapol tuning.' Stefan Grossman

Ton Van Bergeyk launched his career as a musician during the late 1960s playing blues Harp and Ukulele in a duo setting, but he then switched to the acoustic Guitar and quickly learned and mastered the instrument using fingerstyle techniques. He started to transcribe and arrange classic ragtime compositions for fingerpicking Guitar and was discovered by Stefan Grossman during a tour in Holland. Stefan produced Ton's first solo album, Famous Ragtime Guitar Solos, in 1973. This contained 14 of Ton's arrangements of classic ragtime pieces and became a best seller. In 1975, Ton's second solo album, Guitar Instrumentals To Tickle Your Fingers, was released containing transcriptions and arrangements of novelty rags, early jazz and popular tunes of the 1930s and 1940s. In 1980, Ton's third solo album was released and continued his exploration of arrangements for solo fingerpicking Guitar, this time with a repertoire covering jazz, blues, contemporary pop and country and even Mexican folklore. This album was titled Lulu's Back In Town, Hot Guitar Solos. Ton also participated in several anthology projects, i.e. Novelty Guitar Instrumentals, I Got Rhythm, Masters of Ragtime Guitar, The Entertainer and How To Play Ragtime Guitar. All of Ton's albums are available as CDs as well as direct downloads from Stefan Grossman's Guitar Workshop, (www.guitarvideos.com) and include tab PDF booklets on the CDs. Ton recorded the audio lesson series Fingerstyle Jazz Guitar to teach phrase by phrase and measure by measure some of his most requested arrangements. This volume presents his renditions of Jelly Roll Morton's Kansas City Stomp and King Porter Stomp, the classic American Songbook tunes If I Had You, Moonlight Serenade / Niveau : Facile / Tablatures / Guitare Tablatures

One of the first documentary collections of Negro folk songs was compiled in 1867 by William Francis Allen Charles Pickard Ware and Lucy McKim Garrison. Under the title Slave Songs of the United States this collection of136 authentic folk songs of the Negro people revolutionized America's understanding of this music. The book which contains spirituals work songs field hollers soldier songs of Civil War days and freedom songs has become aclassic of its kind. These songs provide the basis for subsequent expressions of gospel music blues and jazz. In 1965 composer Irving Schlein created sensitive and useful piano settings for every song from the original edition.Chords for guitar have also been added to the musical notation. The result is a magnificent and practical volume of songs of great historical value designed for contemporary use.

A Selection of George and Ira's greatest songs and themes. Both became part of the Tin Pan Alley music scene of the 20's 30's and 40's and made a name for themseleves in Broadway in the first time separatly. This is only a few years later that the two decided to wrote together; to offer us great songs and themes.
