The nine pieces present a wide range of jazz styles, including swing, folk, samba, and contemporary, drawing inspiration from the likes of Keith Jarrett, Oscar Peterson, Count Basie, and Abdullah Ibrahim. With fully notated rhythms, grooves, and solos, and a CD of performances by Nikki Iles, Jazz in Springtime is the perfect collection for pianists looking for that authentic jazz sound.
