This piano solo songbook is for players who love the rolling, syncopated sound of New Orleans R&B. It suits intermediate and advanced pianists, adult learners, and serious students who want to explore Professor Longhair?s style in home practice, lessons, and live performance. Teachers can also use it to build groove, touch, and stylistic awareness at the keyboard.
Inside are 19 complete solo transcriptions taken from classic recordings. Each arrangement shows vocal melody, left hand bass patterns, right hand riffs, chord symbols, and lyrics where needed, so you see exactly how the music sits on the keys. Clear engraving and short notes on the artist and his approach help you navigate the busy rhythms and trademark second line feel.
Working through these pieces helps build confidence and technique with rolling triplets, rumba and shuffle figures, hand independence, and relaxed but accurate timekeeping. The music steadily improves rhythm, reading, and performance skills, while the catchy riffs and grooves motivate regular practice. This collection works as a practical music teacher resource as well as a thoughtful gift for pianists who enjoy jazz, blues, and roots styles.

Trusted by teachers, loved by students. Use these transcriptions for recitals, study, or pure enjoyment and bring the sound of New Orleans into your own playing. It is a rewarding addition to any jazz or blues library and a vivid way to keep Professor Longhair?s legacy alive at the piano.

Store description
With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.…
