Immerse Yourself in Vibrant Afro-Cuban Rhythms!
As an adult learner, I absolutely love this collection! It's so much fun to play iconic tunes like 'Manteca' and 'A Night in Tunisia.' The arrangements are challenging yet achievable for a dedicated weekend player and truly capture the vibrant, electrifying feel of Afro-Cuban jazz. It's a fantastic way to relax and sound like you're part of a Latin band. Highly enjoyable!

Great Harmonic and Rhythmic Foundation
While primarily a piano solo book, this collection offers rich arrangements that are incredibly useful for a vocal coach. The full piano texture, expertly arranged by Brent Edstrom, provides a deep understanding of the harmonic and rhythmic underpinnings of each piece. It allows for flexible application, whether used for analysis, as a sophisticated accompaniment, or to play through melodies for singers. A valuable addition for deep study.

More than I’d hoped for
I’d been looking forever for a piano transcription of TinTinDeo. Having one from Brent Edstrom, with AfroBlue and some other favorites was even best. The book arrived in solid condition and on time.
