Supportive Ensemble Backing for Standards
While this Rick Stitzel arrangement of 'Blue Skies' is for jazz ensemble, its 'Grade 2' level and medium swing texture offer a very supportive piano part within the rhythm section. It's excellent for teaching student accompanists how to lay a solid harmonic and rhythmic foundation, crucial for backing a lead instrument or even an aspiring vocalist. The Hal Leonard 'Easy Jazz Ensemble Series' makes this a great pedagogical tool.
