THE JENNY AND BIJAN HOULE AWARD FOR BEST PERFORMANCE OF A COWBOY JAZZ SELECTION

To celebrate the Hal Leonard Corporation's publication of Dr. Houle's Cowboy Jazz collection, we are offering an award for the best performance of one or more of the five selections in this volume. Cowboy Jazz is a series of whimsical piano solos ranging from early to late intermediate level. All the melodies are fully notated and may be played note for note as written; however, they lend themselves to creative improvisatory license. For ideas on how to be creative with these catchy tunes, consult the composer or check out the summer 2003 issue of Piano Today magazine, in which "Sally Saddle" was previously published with tips on how to be creative with the melodic line.

Cowboy Jazz is available locally at Roper Music Store.
