Audiences will be tapping their feet to this impressive arrangement of the classic spiritual!
This jazzy “King James” classic has a touch of gospel, and is a great piece for festivals, recitals, competitions, talent shows, etc.
This collection has the famous jazz standard in lead sheet form (with verse and chorus) and six realizations from James L. King III for early to late intermediate players. Starting with just playing single notes in the left hand to playing full, professional-style arrangements, students will gain confidence and experience in playing from lead sheets.

What a fun and charming piece for a beginner! Absolutely love the melody. I can predict that it is going to be a popular “earworm” in my studio.
