Product Description
Featuring 10 jazz arrangements of hymns and spirituals, this piano collection breaks new ground and makes the sounds of authentic jazz accessible to the pianist who does not come from a jazz piano background or who is inexperienced at jazz improvisation. All arrangements work as solo piano pieces or add in rhythm section for even more fun! (Note: chord symbols are included in the sheet music, rhythm parts are not.)
Testimonials
For the past few years I have truly enjoyed playing your arrangements. My husband, Mike,(who plays bass) and another drummer friend of ours enjoy getting together and working out trio arrangements. We've often played at church (in the Buffalo area) and the congregation is always receptive. It's so much fun! My two favorites are "Joyful Joyful" and "Jesus Loves Me." In 2002 I played a solo piano recital to fulfull requirements for my master's degree. The program had Bach, Ravel, Brahms, and Ginastera. At the end the audience called for an encore. The song that came to mind at that moment was your arrangement of "I Surrender All." At the end of the song, you could hear a pin drop! I was so glad to have that under my fingers and be able to give the Lord glory at the end of such a performance. It also gave me a chance to share my faith with others at the college.... Love your style! Keep writing.

Comments
Dear Mr. Curry,
Though I bought BLUE CURRY in 2000 (Menchey Music, Hanover, PA) to use for worship services at Fairfield Mennonite Church, today I found your website. And that allows me to thank you for the blessings your arrangements have brought in corporate and personal meditation. I play through the folio, too, to stretch my skills: The tunes you selected and your arrangement styles combine to exceed so many contemporary (and redundant) folios.
I look for collections with challenging arrangements (in most any style) which have the gift of capturing the listener’s ear — “Be still” — and then centering the Spirit in worship, praise, prayer, etc. It helps if I can find a collection that goes beyond the most commonly used hymn tunes. The congregation really appreciates your “Come Sunday.”
May I add that your website is super. Creative, clever, eye-catching, not over-done… just right!
God bless,
Bonnie Portzline

This is the first of 3 books I have purchased. “Jesus Loves Me” is everyones favorite at St Matthews Episcopal Church in Raytown, Mo. I have also performed “Amazing Grace” with Piano, Bass, Drums and Flute. “Come Sunday” and “Redeemed” are also piano favorites. Your arrangements are invaluable. Thanks, and God Bless Craig Curry.
