Storyville

Jason Sifford

Storyville is a collection of eight piano solos with optional accompaniment that introduces students to the riches of ragtime, blues and rock’n’roll. Simple yet sophisticated, the titles tour famous American cities where popular styles originated: Georgia Nights - a gospel blues tune; Bogalusa Blues - a Louisiana Delta blues style; Sweet Sedalia - a ragtime piece named after the city where Scott Joplin launched his career; Memphis Madness - a tribute to Jerry Lee Lewis; and others. No key signatures are used (accidentals are placed in front of the notes). Students of any age will enjoy playing through this collection - can be used for sight reading for higher level students.
