"This is not just more of the same, far from it! All the pieces work on their own or with the CD combo backing. The composer sees it it as building more than just jazz feel and technique. Musicianship, ensemble skills, improvisation and co-ordination - all these are addressed marvellously. He believes this is Microjazz for the next generation, more dramatic, more interactive and certainly smarter to look at. I can't argue with this! It looks and sounds great - another Boosey/Norton surefire success"

"This book is influenced by styles of music that are usually the domain of clubbers - pounding techno beats and plain weirdness are well in evidence on the CD backings, while the piano parts are rhythmic and repetitive as only the best dance music can be! Influences include Fat Boy Slim and Chemical Brothers. We dare you to try it!"
