William Gillock : Simplified New Orleans Jazz Styles – Complete Edition

Late Elementary to Early Intermediate - Willis Softcover

Introduction :

(Piano Solo). This 40-page complete edition from Willis Music features all 15 songs from William Gillock's classic New Orleans Jazz Styles series, masterfully adapted for easy piano by Glenda Austin. Designed for students at the Late Elementary to Early Intermediate level, these arrangements maintain the soulful essence and infectious rhythms of traditional jazz while remaining accessible to developing players. From the sultry moods of "After Midnight" to the festive energy of "Mardi Gras," this collection provides a perfect introduction to the syncopation, blues scales, and harmonic colors that define the legendary sound of New Orleans.

Product Features :

• Complete Collection : Includes all 15 pieces from the original series in one convenient volume.
• Expertly Simplified : Arranged by Glenda Austin to suit the technical needs of progressing students without losing musical integrity.
• Stylistic Variety : Explores diverse jazz forms including blues, Dixieland, and boogie-woogie.
• Educational Value : Excellent for teaching syncopated rhythms, swing feel, and independent hand coordination.
• Performance Ready : Ideal for recitals, festivals, or as high-interest supplemental repertoire.

Performance Tips :

• In "New Orleans Blues," focus on the "swing" feel; remember that eighth notes should often be played in a long-short triplet pattern to capture the authentic jazz groove.
• For "Mister Trumpet Man," keep the left-hand accompaniment steady and crisp to allow the trumpet-like melodic "calls" in the right hand to stand out.
• Tip : Many of these pieces use blues notes (flatted 3rds, 5ths, and 7ths); listen carefully to the unique "clash" of these notes against the major chords to understand jazz harmony.

Composer and Editor Introduction :

• Composer - William Gillock (1917–1993) : Often called the "Schubert of children's composers," Gillock was one of America's most beloved piano educators. His music is renowned for its melodic beauty and pedagogical effectiveness, bridging the gap between technical exercise and artistic performance.
• Arranger - Glenda Austin : A respected composer, arranger, and clinician. Austin's close working relationship with Willis Music and her deep understanding of Gillock's style make her the perfect choice for creating these simplified yet authentic jazz arrangements.
