The Evolution of Solo Jazz Piano is a study of solo piano styles developed by 24 of the most influential solo pianists from 1900 to the present. In order to clearly illustrate the specific contributions of the various pianists, Bill Dobbins composed a theme based on the well-known standard All of Me. By applying the stylistic approaches of the different pianists to the same theme, one becomes aware of the subtle yet evocative elements of each individual style. Common elements between Waller, Ellington, Tatum, Monk and Rowles, Tatum, Hines and Wilson, Smith and Ellington, Corea and Beirach etc., should make it clear that musical individuality is largely the result of the subconscious emphasis of some musical elements over others, rather than the self-conscious cultivation of originality for its own sake. We sincerely hope that this DVD may serve as a stimulus toward the further study of the solo jazz piano tradition in particular and for creative music in general. Titles: Part 1: Traditional Styles Scott Joplin * Jelly Roll Morton * James P. Johnson * Willie The Lion Smith * Earl Fatha Hines * Thomas Fats Waller * Teddy Wilson * Duke Ellington * Art Tatum * Meade Lux Lewis * Pete Johnson * Jimmy Yancey * Part 2: Modern Styles Thelonious Monk * Bud Powell * Oscar Peterson * Erroll Garner * Lennie Tristano * Bill Evans * Clare Fischer * Jimmy Rowles * Cecil Taylor * Chick Corea * Keith Jarrett * Richie Beirach.

Our ultimate goal is to emphasize the necessity of exceptional quality in printed sheet music. Time has heard the strains of a myriad of musical styles. Some styles liven with age while others fade. The same is true of the composers themselves; some are regarded as brilliant masters from the beginning of their lives while others are praised only posthumously. Endurance is the ultimate test. Scott Joplin endured great injustices and criticism, yet he remains the King of Ragtime. We remember the genius of Scott Joplin by publishing Solace, The Entertainer, and Maple Leaf Rag in a remarkable 3 in 1 original edition. Joplin's most popular rag, The Entertainer reached high acclaim in 1973 as a recognizable theme from the film classic, The Sting. This Academy Award-Winning film was solely responsible for the resurgence of ragtime in general, but more specifically brought renewed interest in the works of Scott Joplin. Solace was frequently heard in the background of many scenes in which the character was deep in thought. Subtitled, A Mexican Serenade, Solace has a serene Latin feel, unlike no other samba written and is the favorite of many Joplin enthusiasts. While the Maple Leaf Rag, actually became quite popular during Joplin's lifetime, so much so that it was the first printed sheet of music to sell over one million copies. We are pleased to combine these three original rags in one sheet as a special part of our Masterpiece Ragtime Selections. These newly engraved editions are clean, sharp, distinct, and accurate. An absolute pleasure to read as each crisp note seems to pop off the page.

For decades, pupils (aged 6+) have been learning the basics of piano playing with plenty of imagination and creativity by using the popular three-volume piano method Piano Kids by Hans-Gunter Heumann. In 2014 the method was revised and has since been published in a revised and expanded new edition: New songs and illustrations breathe new life into the standard work and adjust it to the realityof life of today's first-time piano players. The educational concept of Piano Kids, resulting from the combination of textbooks, additional activity books as well as the large number of themed tune books, is now completed by tune books that are companions to the textbooks.These new tune books contain a wide range of very easy pieces for beginners which are in line with the progress of the textbooks andprovide the young pianists with age-appropriate playing literature from the very first piano lesson. Well-known folklore melodies, upbeat compositions in the style of pop, rock and jazz music as well as the first little masterpieces by Mozart, Beethoven & Co. motivate and stimulate the pupils and add variety to the music lessons. Volume 1 starts with several pieces for piano duet which will easily motivate beginners without demanding too much. All pieces are limited to the five-note range while nevertheless covering the whole spectrum of styles: from folk melodies via classical pieces by composers such as Gurlitt, Turk or Bartok to modern compositions from the areas of pop, rock and jazz music. Alongside Vol. 2 of the piano method, Volume 2 extends the pitch range and heightens the rhythmic demands. Apart from the wide rangeof songs from the areas of folk, rock and pop music, the young musicians get to know the first easy piano pieces by Mozart, Beethoven & Co. Many little 'treats' will have a lasting motivating effect on the pianists, like e.g. the Baby Elephant Walk by Henri Mancini or The Entertainer by Scott Joplin. These pieces have been arranged by Hans-Gunter Heumann in such a way that they do not demand too much of the children but motivate them when playing these famous melodies.
