A great collection of jazzy arrangements of famous Studio Ghibli tunes; this book is perfect for those who can play the piano, but might not be familiar with jazz improvisation. The attached CD features piano trio demos (including bass and drums), both with and without the piano. Listen to the full demos first to get a sense and feel of the groove. When you are ready, play along with just the bass and drums as if you are part of the trio!
