FREE Sheet Music!

Well, look what I just found - FREE sheet music in PDF format!  There's a lot of classical stuff, and public domain music, along with some original compositions, and it's not just for piano - a number of instruments are represented - from bassoon to violoncello.

When I searched on jazz piano, I didn't get much besides a handful of compositions by some IT guy in the Netherlands, but it's a start.

I hope you find something useful there...I'll be digging through the archives myself a bit later.

Chick on Chick

Sorry...no offense intended...it just came out funny after I wrote the headline and I decided to leave it anyway.

I discovered Chick Corea's website today, complete with some Q&A between Chick and his fans, and a chance to join him in writing a "collaborative" book.

Lots of Chick Corea info on the site - tours, albums, bios, etc. Definitely worth checking out:

From Chick

We've had so many interesting questions and wonderful suggestions, we thought why not write the next book as a collaborative project with Chick's fans!

How About A Chat With Andre Previn And Oscar Peterson?

I JUST discovered this awesome series of videos on YouTube - sort of a mutual interview between Oscar Peterson and Andre Previn.  I've just watched the first one, but will definitely make time for all the others, since I love to hear Oscar talk - his voice is so pleasant, and he's obviously a man of great intelligence and consideration.

There's a little bit of playing, and a lot of talking.  This first video focuses on one of Oscar's major influences (and good friends) - Art Tatum.  Enjoy.
