Songbook - 121 Jazz Tunes for jazz piano (concert key book)

The Timothy Hayward Songbook brings together 121 jazz tunes representing more than 10 years of composition. Every piece is different in form and tempo, offering original chord progressions as well as new melodies on classic jazz standards.

Harmony parts to certain tunes are also included in this book. Diversity is this young Franco-American composer's trade mark: the musician will encounter in this Songbook as many styles as there are tunes.

We know that the Timothy Hayward Songbook will be appreciated by all jazz players.

"I met Timothy in Paris, what a great Alto Saxophonist and composer. I hired Tim to join The Spirit of Life Ensemble (USA). We enjoy playing and recording his incredible compositions! I highly recommend this book to all serious Jazz musicians."

Bob Ferrel (Trombonist - Duke Ellington Orchestra w/Mercer Ellington)

"I have always enjoyed playing Tim’s music. I find his tunes to be both challenging and fun to play. I was honored when Tim dedicated one of his compositions to me. I am sure that this collection of his music will be an invaluable resource to both the aspiring musician and the seasoned pro."

Michael Cochrane (Pianist)

"As a young talented musician Tim has all the musical crafts that will take him far in his musical career. I'm very proud, and sure he will go a long way."

Gus Nemeth (Bassist)

"Timothy's sonic universe encompasses everything from canon perpetuusto Cannonball Adderley, raï to rap, bebop to beatbox and beyond. I'm proud to have participated in his musical journeys as his teacher, sideman, and especially as his friend. Of the 121 compositions collected here, I've had the opportunity to play about 57 with the maëstro himself, and look forward to discovering the rest of them!"

Tom McClung (Pianist)
