Riassunto

Jazz on a Winter's Night is a Christmas piano album of stylish, swinging arrangements. Favourite Christmas carols and songs receive the complete jazz treatment, with rhythm, harmony, grooves, and solos all carefully notated. The expertise of the arranger, a celebrated jazz pianist and composer, guarantees an authentic jazz sound, and a range of styles from Nat King Cole to John Coltrane. While paying homage to American Christmas jazz, the collection also reflects a European tradition, in such time-honoured classics as 'In the bleak mid-winter'.

Recensione:

Jazz music and Christmas have a beautifully nostalgic association for many, and it's no surprise that jazz pianist Nikki Iles' Jazz on a Winter's Night has been such a huge success since its 2009 publication, spawning outstanding sequels in Jazz in Springtime, Jazz on a Summer's Day and Jazz in Autumn, - each including a selection of seasonally themed jazz standards and originals from Nikki herself . . . Jazz on a Winter's Night has established itself as my all-time favourite Christmas music book. (www.pianodao.com)

An authentic jazz sound can be easily created using Nikki's notated rhythms, grooves, harmonies and solos, and the expertise of the arranger guides players through the diversity of jazz characters. These stylish arrangements and compositions are the perfect introduction to jazz. (Piano Professional, September 2018)
