Original creations for the contemporary pianist-Eight Escapes For Piano is a fresh engaging set of contemporary pieces suitable for pianists of Grades 5-7 who enjoy jazz-influenced music without improvisation. This first collection by Rob Hall for Spartan Press provides a wide range of moods and challenges from the cascading opener Lifts Escalators and Extreme Travelators depicting a bustling Hong Kong through the Edinburgh festival-funk of Cafe Graffiti and the whirling folk-infused Pied Piper to an emotive epilogue Swan Song. With its international theme Eight Escapes will have wide appeal to advancing (oradvanced) pianists and students alike.
