Learn the arrangements of these fabulous tunes and you can hold down any piano playing job in any sophisticated venue. A beautiful piano sound without all the fancy, hard-to-play runs and fills. Gorgeous voicings, harmonies, and substitute chords. Flowing left hand arpeggios alternate with left hand moving chords, while excellent inner voices add beautiful, simple counterpoint. Al Lerner is a true romantic. Each selection becomes a mini-sonata, or a "pop" Chopin nocturne. Perfect student recital pieces! You'll find yourself adopting some of Al Lerner's wonderful techniques and devices to your own style.
I own dozens of books of standards and jazz arrangements, and if I had to give them all away but one, this is the book I would keep. All by itself, "Autumn Leaves" is worth the price of admission. Lerner's arrangements and lush chord changes provide dazzling results for the performer and listener alike. - Ron from Phoenix, AZ
Also available by Al Lerner Cocktail Piano Standards.

I would like to let Mrs. Lienhard know that I think her musical arrangements are fantastic! I am studying Jazz in Tampa, Florida, and am currently studying some of her arrangements. My teacher thought that Mrs. Lienhard's arrangements were a cut above, one step beyond, George Shearing's works! Hey, I've loved Shearing's recordings and transcriptions for years! She is definitely, one step beyond! I just wanted to let you know! -Tom L.
