Great but obscure songs sometimes
I27-I38 Love this series! The only reason it has 4 stars and students often don't choose it is because the songs are kind of obscure.

very good
These are great arrangements for students. The arrangement of Sing we now of Christmas is my favorite. I can play it over and over. Being a classical pianist, it's fun to sit down and read through these and my students love them too.

Christmas Jazz, Rags & Blues-Book 4
Bought these for my students to get away from the standard classical style of playing. The 8 songs in this book have different style rhythms from blues,Jazz, and Ragtime written to Christmas music.This book 4 has some very good syncopated rhythms, plus I have the students also add some improv. or change the note durations along with what is written to make the songs sound more lively. Songs in this series are pretty good as written.The Book 4 is easy to read and well organized. Songs are 1 to 3 pages in length. The songs are a series to get into pop/blues/Rag to learn basic syncopated rhythms to known Christmas songs. Book 4 is for the Late intermediate student throughout the book. All 4 Levels of this series are pretty good learning books. Variety of Blues, Jazz,and Ragtime Christmas songs from easy to the intermediate/advanced playing student. All the songs have very interesting styles to them. hope this helps.pianomanDT

Mediocre
This is for the pianist with no jazz exposure, not for the jazz aficionado. The arrangements fall short of any true jazz seasonings but are fine for the young pianist looking for a change from classical arrangements.
