Geri Allen

From A Child Is Born (2011)
I have a confession to make: I'm not a big fan of Christmas music (sorry!) That's why I like so much Geri Allen's Christmas album A Child Is Born: it's a little Christmassy, and a lot jazz!
Amazing Grace (video)
Here she re-harmonizes Amazing Grace with great delicacy and a very modern feel. As always with a rubato piece, I tried not to overload the score, finding a balance between the precision of the rhythm transcription and the simplicity of a readable idea. Hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do!
