Young Chang Piano: The Johnny Mandel Songbook : Piano Vocal Guitar [Paperback] Review

Whenever Johnny Mandel's name appears as a producer, arranger, or composer on any collection of music one can purchase, I typically buy it immediately! This man has one of the finest musical minds in Americanpopular music history.When I saw that this piano collection of his workwas available and that it is arranged with his chord changes and specialharmonic colors, I couldn't wait to buy it, play it, and learn from it!His songs, particularly "Emily" and "The Shadow of YourSmile" are classics, but arranged with his chord changes and colors issimply for me, the ultimate learning tool.I love to play these songs yes,but I really enjoy learning and piecing together music that really comesacross as harmonically breathtaking to me.I may seem a bit over dramaticin my opinion of his work, but I find it no coincidence that Johnny Mandelis considered the best in his field by heavyweights in the recordingindustry.
