Piano Playbook: Cocktail Piano is a collection of new, elegant arrangements of jazz, pop and even classical standards, designed to be played while sipping a Martini in a dimly lit lounge.
Each one of these 45 smooth pieces was written by a master of composition, whether it's The Beatles, Duke Ellington, Rachmaninoff, Bill Evans, or Chick Corea. This book has been arranged with intermediate-advanced pianists in mind and includes an integrated Spotify playlist of the original versions for each song.
