These 74 swing studies from the forties are a compilation of our favorite etudes by Ben Paisner. His phrasing and interpretation exemplifies the period to a tee. In other words, he nails it! They are among the dozens, written for the David Gornston Library. Like Charles Colin, Dave Gornston was considered among the pioneers of jazz education. If you appreciate the genre, you'll find these studies fun to play and enjoyable to be heard. - Allan Colin.
