Edited by Denes Agay and Gerald Martin. For Piano Solo. Yorktown. Jazz, Boogie, Blues. Softcover. 64 pages. Yorktown Music Press #YK21020. Published by Yorktown Music PressTHEJOY OFBOOGIEANDBLUES is a collection of thirty-one imaginative piano solos inthe early-to-intermediate grades. Some of these pieces are modern settings ofstandard, ever-popular folk and blues melodies, others are original compositions inspired by and built on certain styles and elements of jazz.Essentially “blues” and “boogie,” as well as “ragtime,” “swing,” “be-bop,” are jazz styleswhich have emerged on the American musical scene one by one from about the turnof the century to our days. The oldest and most basic of these idioms is the blues.The prototype of the blues is a simple, but characteristic harmonic sequence of twelve measures, divided into three phrases, with a freely improvised, very expressive melody line. It probably is one of the main roots of the entire jazz idiom.
