Excerpt from Wesla Whitfield's CD 'September Songs'
Featuring Clarinets Played by Gary Foster - Arranged by Mike Greensill
Playing for Singers
I have written a "how-to" book for the jazz and cabaret piano player.
I've spent most of my piano playing career as an accompanist, and it's time to share some of the knowledge I've gleaned from toiling all those years in the nightclub/concert milieu.
The musical techniques that this career demands have rarely been written about, and so this is an attempt to fill that gap.
It's a practical guide to the secrets, both musical and psychological, of the accompanist's art.
