Jazz & Standards Piano/Vocal Sheet Music

About This Collection

Description

Jazz standards and Great American Songbook classics for piano and voice are here, rooted in the songs that shaped American music. You'll find Cole Porter's timeless melodies, Nat King Cole's sophisticated interpretations, and material perfect for late intermediate singers and pianists exploring this repertoire. Many titles include chord charts and recorded accompaniments, making them practical for both private study and performance.

Highlights

Teachers return often to Cole Porter: The Platinum Collection and Nat "King" Cole: Unforgettable for their breadth and accuracy. Vocal Complete: Female Voice Jazz Standards pairs sheet music with online audio, useful for singers building confidence in the idiom. Take Five by The Dave Brubeck Quartet and At Last by Harry Warren round out the standards every jazz pianist should know.

Composer Spotlight

Cole Porter wrote some of the twentieth century's most durable melodies, and his Platinum Collection gathers his best work in a single resource. His sophisticated harmonies and witty lyrics define the Great American Songbook.

George Gershwin and Johnny Mercer represent two pillars of American song: Gershwin's instrumental brilliance and Mercer's lyrical craft. The Best of George Gershwin and Ira Gershwin shows why these compositions endure, while Mercer's Day In Day Out demonstrates his gift for memorable, singable lines.

Tony Bennett and Ray Charles brought interpretive depth to standards, each bending the form to their own artistry. Bennett's Don't Get Around Much Anymore exemplifies his phrasing and emotional directness; Ray Charles's approach to harmony and rhythm reshaped how singers approached the form.
