'I really want to express my ownpersonaldelight in John's Easijazz book. He writes with such understanding of the idioms and the limitations within which he must compose for really young pianists while never watering down or compromising his owninimitablestyle.
Such a generous, impeccably presented selection of attractive, well-varied and useful pieces in a whole range of genres - a brilliant book to be used as a repertoire resource, a tutor, a sight-reading book,styleguide - or just for having fun at the piano!'
