The Bill Evans Collection (Artist Transcriptions) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The transcriptions are great, but only 1 of the 8 is a solo piece.

The cover of the book states "8 Solo Transcriptions". The description on the Hal Leonard website says "eight solo piano transcriptions".However, only 1 is truly a solo piano piece ('On a Clear Day' from the album Alone). The rest are trio pieces.

That said, the transcriptions themselves are EXCELLENT, as is the case for the other Artist Transcription books I've seen.It might be worth purchasing (though at a much lower price) for "On a Clear Day" by itself.Also, if you're not interested in performing solo pieces, the other 7 provide good reference/research material...afterall, it's Bill Evans.

I doubt this is intentional deception, and rather just an oversight; Hal Leoanrd is a well-established publishing company.
However, I was still pretty disappointed, as I imagine others have been as well.
