To my fans, friends and to jazz students everywhere:
I hope you enjoy this book and find it helpful in your studies.
All the pieces included are original compositions, recorded by me with one or other of the various small groups I have had over the years.
The piano parts have been transcribed, note for note, just as I played them on the records. A full set of expression marks is provided - phrasing indicators, accents, pauses, ritards, etc. - to give you an even better idea of what I did.
My congratulations to everyone involved in making this book possible. And to all of you who use it, best wishes - and have fun!
Oscar Peterson
