PHINEAS NEWBORN TRANSCRIPTIONS

Phineas Newborn was an American jazz pianist who play in very unique style but very similar on: Erroll Garner, Oscar Peterson and Art Tatum. One of the most technically skilled and brilliant pianists in jazz during his prime, Phineas Newborn remains a bit of a mystery. Plagued by mental and physical problems of unknown origin, Newborn faded from the scene in the mid-'60s, only to re-emerge at irregular intervals throughout his life. Newborn could be compared to Oscar Peterson in that his bop-based style was largely unclassifiable, his technique was phenomenal, and he was very capable of enthralling an audience playing a full song with just his left hand. There is a legend that Oscar Peterson thought that best pianist is Phineas Newborn (after himself). Phineas Newborn transcriptions we recommend for advanced jazz piano musician. Newborn solo's can be a few difficult to learning for beginners.
