Carol Robbins<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Harp Column Music has recently published these two pieces that have such satisfying, jazzy melodies. \u201cStill Light\u201d reminds me of a nice jaunt down the sidewalk on a crisp day. Both pieces have interesting chord voicings that when mixed with lush rolls are absolutely bewitching on the harp.<\/span><\/p>\n

Air<\/a><\/h3>\n

Riza Printup<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

This piece is new to me and I immediately know that I\u2019m going to have it in my gig book for years to come. It has a simple melody that continues to develop in harmonic color throughout the entire piece. It is approximately six minutes in length (again, great for the gig book) and on the lighter, smoother side of jazz.<\/span><\/p>\n

Black Orchid*<\/a><\/h3>\n

Christa Grix<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

All I can say is that this is so much fun to play! It has an upbeat, jazzy, samba groove to it and would be the perfect show-stopping encore piece on any concert program.<\/span><\/p>\n

Traditional Tunes with a Twist*<\/a><\/h3>\n

Arr. Verlene Schermer<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

This is such a great collection to have in your repertoire. I absolutely love when traditional tunes are given new life, evolving them to a more modern sound. Each arrangement in this collection begins simply and evolves slowly to be more jazzy throughout. Some of the tunes included are “Greensleeves,” “Oh Susannah,” and “House of the Rising Sun.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The Very Thought of You<\/a><\/h3>\n

Arr. Michelle Whitson Stone<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

This pop\/jazz classic is a great addition to the gig book. There is so much feeling and life in the melodies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Autumn Leaves<\/a><\/h3>\n

Arr. Riza Printup<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

When we’re talking jazz, it’s always a good idea to add a well-loved jazz standard to your gig book. This exciting arrangement uses the full range of the harp, which is both fun and flashy!<\/span><\/p>\n

The Water is Wide*<\/a><\/h3>\n

Arr. Cindy Horstman<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Everyone loves this melody, right? This Scottish tune has always been a favorite of mine. I love the new life that Cindy has brought to it with the simple additions of jazz harmonies and syncopated rhythms.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jazz harpist Amanda Whiting has a treasure trove of short, jazzy originals written with percussionist Tony Robinson. Many of their pieces have built in opportunities to work on your improv skills with either chord symbols provided or designated improv sections. Below are a few that I particularly enjoy playing. The pair also has a series of jazz method books<\/a> available.<\/p>\n
