 Totally Great October 3, 2008
I recently acquired this book on the reccpmendation of a fellow piano teacher. I have an advanced student who wanted to move away from the "boring" classical music I had been assigning him. The music is challenging, extremely innovative and contains musical surprises, plays well in the hand and sounds great! I wish that there were more arrangements from Mr. Johnson, perhaps an easier version for my less advanced students. Whoever he is, I would like to thank him for great work and a real understanding of what it takes to play the piano.

 good, but not as good as the other books in this fabulous Popular Performer series August 6, 2008
I own all 11 books in this series published. Lately, Alfred Publication has been stealing the limelight from the previously-unchallenged HalLeonard Publication. The problem with this book for me-is that its too intermediate-a just a bit simplistic for my taste. For some strange reasons, the publisher thinks if they rate the book "advanced" it will sell better-so I really had different expectations. The songs sound on jazzier side.
But this great series "Popular Performer" books usually very well arranted. Check it out. My favorite titles are: 60's, standards, movies, 40's, 50's, Mercer, Rogers and Hart, and Porter's. My least favorite is 1970-hand's down.
