Par GREENSILL MIKE. Playing For Singers by Mike Greensill explores in depth the art of accompaniment for the jazz or cabaret pianist. A comprehensive resource for everyone ? from the beginning jazz pianist, to the crusty old pro needing a tune-up for his/her next accompanying gig ? it covers all the fundamentals of playing for vocalists, especially as it applies to the performance of the ?Great American Songbook?.
