Customer Comments About This Book:
Hello Andrew Gordon, While in Michigan for Thanksgiving I purchased your book "Outstanding Blues and Jazz Compositions for Piano/Keyboards" at Elderly Music in Lansing. The book was published in 1990. Thanks for having the generosity and patience to teach. The book actually begins at my level ! and I am having a great time with it. Tonight as I plowed through tedious scales and arpeggios, I kept our friend George Harrison in mind. Best regards, Elizabeth
