Geroge Gershwin, Piano Solos v. 26

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. But these do not come with recordings, even online. Fortunately, they have started putting them on MuseScore. You can't download them without paying (I've already paid for the books!), but you can listen to them (played via MIDI), which can be very helpful, especially for getting the rhythms right. 

Here are links for the ones in the Gershwin book:

  1. Bidin' My Time
  2. But Not For Me
  3. Embraceable You 
  4. Fascinating Rhythm
  5. A Foggy Day (In London Town)
  6. How Long Has This Been Going On?
  7. I Got Plenty O' Nothin'
  8. I Got Rhythm
  9. I Loves You, Porgy
  10. I've Got a Crush On You
  11. It Ain't Necessarily So
  12. Let's Call the Whole Thing Off
  13. Love Is Here to Stay
  14. Love Walked In
  15. The Man I Love
  16. Nice Work If You Can Get It
  17. Oh, Lady Be Good!
  18. 'S Wonderful
  19. Somebody Loves Me
  20. Someone To Watch Over Me
  21. Summertime
  22. They All Laughed
  23. They Can't Take That Away From Me
