Sound of Jazz

Sheet music for solo piano.The Sound of Jazz is a collection of eleven original piano compositions that reflects the composer's research, personal experience, and artistic perspective on jazz, jazz fusion, and contemporary music. Focusing on form, harmony, rhythm, and tonal colour, the collection explores the relationship between jazz language and elements of Iranian music.A number of the works fall within the realm of jazz fusion and Iranian fusion, drawing on folk melodies and structural elements derived from Iranian musical traditions. Alongside these pieces, the collection includes solo piano works, written within clearly defined harmonic and formal frameworks, some of which allow space for improvisation based on chord progressions.The pieces are notated in greater detail than is typical in standard jazz lead sheets, making the harmonic, rhythmic, and formal aspects accessible to pianists seeking a deeper engagement with written jazz repertoire. The Sound of Jazz is intended for pianists and musicians interested in performing contemporary jazz and fusion works for solo piano. Available for bookstores and libraries via Ingram distribution.
