Testimonials
I bought your book Gospel Improv about two years ago because I wanted to learn "His Eye Is on The Sparrow." Once I brought the book home, I was distracted with some of the other tunes, and learned several. I am a piano teacher as well as an elementary school teacher, and I played your arrangement of "Oh How I Love Jesus" at the year-end recital last May, and it was a real hit. Having a little more time now in the summer, I began working "His Eye Is on the Sparrow" a week ago, and I just got up from the piano a few minutes ago, and it's starting to "flow". I absolutely LOVE your arrangements, and so I'm sending you a note to say thank you for sharing your gifts and talents. I play by ear and as well am classically trained. I have always loved hearing jazz chords and have over the years incorporated some into my own playing. Your material is just perfect for me....

This is an awesome collection of great arrangements. I am playing a solo concert this Sunday that includes most of these works, but I have of course made alterations in the improv and push some of the tempos a bit. Thanks Craig for giving us jazz guys something to play in the walls of a church!!
Thanks for your encouraging words. Hope your concert went well! I added it to the Performances Map in the “About” section.
