 Frank
Marocco - Live! -
Recorded
June 21, 1999. A great compendium of jazz standards with Frank Marocco
in solo and ensemble format, and some great jazz violin added! Very interesting
and exciting recording for jazz enthusiasts. |
 Frank
Marocco International Collection Originals
including a yodel from the 2001 release of "Charlies Angels", as well as
a great tarantella, mazurka, polka, and beautiful Parisian melody. My favorite
is the "Tarantella Nuovo." |
 Frank
Marocco Religious Collection Beautiful
arrangements of Ave Maria and The Lord's Prayer incorporating the natural
organ-like qualities of the accordion. |
 How
to Play the Mini Button Accordion -
A great new method book from Valarie Morris. It's a fun and easy method
for beginners. Very easy to follow and understand. Valarie's other methods
have been very well received and we expect this one to be just as popular. |
 Scaling
the Accordion Minor Keys - Book 1- Another
innovative and insightful addition to Valarie's growing collection of method
books. |
 Animal
Anthology: Land Lovers - Another
great Valarie Morris method. This one is intended as a supplement to her
other methods, but this one poignantly reminds us of our duty to nature
and endangered species. |
 What
a Week- Duets
for any combination of accordion, flute, Bb clarinet, oboe, bassoon, Bb
trumpet, Bb saxophones, Eb saxophones, and trombone. Teachers can play
duets with their students and players of the same or different instruments
can play duets together. This collection of duets covers the basics of
musicianship. The many types of rhythms, meters, repeats, endings, phrasings,
embellishments, expressions, dynamics, and articulations in the tunes give
players a wide range of experience. |
 What
a Year -
Great
as teaching methods or for performance, these duets are for any combination
of accordion, flute, oboe, Bb clarinet, bassoon, Bb saxophones, Eb saxophones,
Bb trumpet, and trombone - Wow! Each tune was inspired by and composed
during the month of its title. |

 Study
of the Accordion,
the beginners' method adults have been anticipating for the last 40 years!
Palmer Hughes was great in its day and is still great for kids. But adults
have requested something that moves faster and doesn't have all the juvenile
illustrations. Ralph Stricker, who has written
another JANPress top seller jazz instruction method, now brings you a beginners'
method that will get you learning and playing fast! |
 Daniel
Barski, a new JANPress
artist offering a new CD (Free-Reed
ODYSSEY) plus 4 new playable, accessbile,
and enjoyable ethnic pieces, Dla Leokadja,
Farewell
to Puka, Donna's
Reel, and Holiday
Oberek. |
 Luigi
Appareti is another JANPress
artist being introduced for 2002 with a great compilation remastered to
a digital CD recording entitled Luigi Plays Frosini.
Mr Appareti was a student of Frosini's and consequently produces outstanding
renditions of these eleven Frosini classics. Mr. Appareti is a highly underrated
accordionist (just check out his bio
if you don't believe us), and we are certainly glad he has chosen to team
up with JANPress. |
Whoever thought Europeans and Americans have the corner on accordion
savvy, will be surprised to see what is going on "down under" with Peter
Piccini. Versed
in the art of jazz as well as classics, Peter has much to offer on these
two new releases from JANPress, The first one, Cool
Change, is a nice jazz CD with all selections composed and arranged
by Peter. |
 Echoes
of Europe is
another interesting CD from Peter Piccini, with
pieces that are definitely not run of the mill polkas, tangos, waltzes,
and commercial offerings. A very nice effort, worth hearing. |
| Edmund
Cifani graces us
with a new arrangement of Ol Man River.
Ed lives up to the quality and originality of all his other arrangements
with JANPress. Be sure to try it out. |
| Interview with
Edmund
Cifani, incredible arranger
and composer published by JANPress. Here what Ed has to say about the accordion
and his influences. |
| Gregorian Chant -
Interesting
new article in the Learning Center by Henry Doktorski. |

What
Makes JANPress Sheet Music So Great?
|
| Well, JANPress was created
by performing musicians, publishing sheet music for
performing musicians. Our publications are exclusively bound with plastic
comb binding that allows the music to stay open on your music stand, no
matter what pages you are reading. No more gymnastics trying to perform
while fighting to keep the pages open at the same time. We use 110 lb card
stock for the covers and 67 lb card stock for the music pages, which means
much sturdier pages that will last for years in your library and during
performances. JANPress is not interested in saving money at the expense
of quality. Quality is what sets us apart and is what our customers expect.
We want to exceed those expectations!
