 PIANO WORKS SERIES - Volume 3
 Eight Creole-Caribbean compositions for piano

 Louisiana Café opens up a soundscape between New Orleans and the Caribbean. This volume brings together selected piano pieces from Jan Luley's concert repertoire – including
 For the first time, the fully notated piano version of the title “Louisiana Café”, composed in 1996, one of his most frequently performed works.

 Creole rhythms, buoyant grooves, and lyrical moments combine to create a distinctive pianistic style. Besides the title track, the book includes, among other pieces...
 Pollo Criollo, PM's Dance, Boonoonoonous and Crème Creole – compositions that have been part of Luley's concerts for years and have also been released on CD.

 The book is supplemented by rhythmic preparatory exercises for the tresillo and extended habanera. These provide the stylistic foundation of this music and support a confident and lively performance on the piano. Audio examples for all pieces are available.

 For pianists who seek groove, timbre and expression in equal measure.
