Jazz/blues pieces for 4 hands or 2 pianos alone?
on: November 22, 2013, 11:30:17 PM
I'm looking for something completely non-classical to play with another pianist, and it has to be jazz or blues. I'm not capable enough to make my own arrangements.

Does such things exist?

Thanks!

If you are not capable of making your own arrangements, what makes you think you'll be capable of playing jazz or blues?

The 'Tiger Rag' by Art Tatum? Should be pretty exciting.

Gershwin?

Why are you always like this?

Gershwin?


A bit too classical, and a bit too challenging for my partner :-)
