The Lion Has Short Legs

Product detailed description

This selection of small jazz compositions by Jiří Válek from the 70s and 80s of the 20th century offers simplified arrangements for a melodic instrument and piano. The pieces were originally recorded in the Czechoslovak Radio, released on gramophone records, or featured on television. The sheet music is designed to suit both experienced jazz players and beginners interested in swing phrasing. The simplified chord notation allows easier orientation for improvisation, while maintaining focus on precise bass tones. This selection not only provides musical inspiration but also room for personal interpretation and creativity. All pieces are accompanied by QR codes with piano accompaniments for easier practice.
