Hal Leonard publishes some really great collections of piano solo
arrangements of jazz standards. The difficulty ranges from things I can
play (intermediate level) to things it'll be a while until I can play. The tunes in this particular book are definitely on the harder side.
These do not come with recordings, even online. Fortunately, they have started putting them on MuseScore. Not all the songs are there, presumably due to issues around who owns the copyright. You can't download these 'official' scores without paying (and I've already paid for the books, thank you), but the complete sheet music is there, and you could play them off a tablet or something. Most helpfully, you can listen to them (played via MIDI), which is great for getting the rhythms right.
I've created a 'set' of Musescore. Individual links are below.
- Affirmation
- Captain Fingers
- Chameleon
- The Chicken
- Contusion
- Chromozone
- Don't Stop
- Feel So Good
- 500 Miles High
- Goodbye Pork Pie Hat
- Got a Match?
- Meeting of the Spirits
- Mercy, Mercy, Mercy
- Mile High
- Oops
- Peaches En Regalia
- Portrait of Tracy
- Red Baron
- Red Clay
- A Remark You Made
- Snakes
- Thing of Gold
- Winelight
- You Know What I Mean
I'm not entirely sure I'd classify all these as 'fusion', but whatever.
