While primarily piano solos, this Oscar Peterson collection is an excellent resource for vocal coaches wanting to deeply understand jazz piano accompaniment. Studying these artist transcriptions provides immense insight into authentic jazz harmony and rhythm. It's not a 'lead sheet' book, but crucial for developing a sophisticated understanding of the piano's role and informing your own accompaniment approach when working with singers.

These Oscar Peterson transcriptions are spot on. While a full solo transcription might be a lot for a spontaneous gig request, they're perfect for studying the master's style or preparing specific pieces like 'Gravy Waltz' for performance. The arrangements are solid, providing all the detail you'd expect from Peterson's iconic playing. Essential for any jazz pianist's working repertoire development.

This Oscar Peterson collection is invaluable for teaching advanced jazz piano. The artist transcriptions are fantastic for demonstrating authentic jazz articulation and rhythm. While challenging, the clear layout by Hal Leonard makes it easier for students to navigate Peterson's intricate lines. A superb book for developing serious jazz technique and understanding, highly recommended for pedagogy.

As an adult learner, I absolutely love this book! Playing these Oscar Peterson classics, like 'Hymn to Freedom,' truly makes me feel like I'm connecting with the record. It's definitely a challenge, but incredibly rewarding to work through his authentic solos. It's a fantastic way to relax and improve my jazz playing, even if it's just for my own enjoyment at home.

I purchase this book especially for the hymn to freedom transcription. It corresponds to the album night train. But the sheet is not complete, after 2 themes it goes to the ending part.So regarding the track, you have 3:00 min of 5:40 which is written.So a bit disappointed.

I purchased this book especially for the Hymn to Freedom. I've never played jazz, so this one was a good beginner piece - easy, yet so satisfying to play, and gave me a sense that I could do more!! Many thanks - it took a wee while to reach me here in Scotland, but well worth the wait.

I was looking for an exact transcription of Hymn to Freedom as recorded by Oscar Peterson, but the arrangement is quite different beginning with the key in B flat instead of F etc. Can you help me to find the right music?
