In Fancy Melodies, Colin Cowles has put together a scintillating collection of material. He has arranged a variety of traditional and classical pieces in jazz and folk styles creating a number of fantastic pieces to play for the instrumentalist. The pieces exercise various musical skills, particularly focusing on the need for great rhythmical accuracy during performance. Good contest or concert material.
