Album Notes

Piano Sheet Music and CD combo for "Yesterday Once More (Original Piano Melodies for the Eclectic Romantic)" is a sixty-two page spiral bound book of original piano music and a CD in an easy listening jazz style that carve their own niche.

"If I'm not moved by the music I write, how can I expect my listeners to become emotionally involved?" This quote sums up Dennis Leogrande's motivation to compose romantic piano music that captivates both listeners and performers and beckons them to relive memorable emotional experiences. Composing from his heart and not from a formula sets his style apart from many of his contemporaries and presents a refreshingly unique sound. His easy yet slightly edgy classical jazz style keeps the heart and ear anticipating each melodic phrase and harmonic texture.

Long impressed by the melodic and harmonic styles of jazz icons Marian McPartland and Dave Brubeck, Dennis proves that a well constructed harmony complements a unique melody. When playing his music, you will find that he's got all the emotions covered and neatly laid out within easy reach.
