JacLyn Worth -- CLASSICALLY JAZZ!

Introducing JacLyn Worth, accomplished classical pianist performing her exquisitely stylized arrangements of Jazz Standards

Writing personalized piano jazz arrangements started out as a hobby for me. It was prompted by simply wanting to explore the harmonic possibilities contained in some of my favorites from the Great American Songbook. I've always loved listening to jazz chords played on the piano and have had great admiration for good jazz pianists. So, in my free time I started improvising and writing down the sounds I preferred. In sharing them with musician friends, I received such favorable feedback that I decided to record some of them and present them to the public. It is my wish that those who enjoy lyrical, "Old School Romantic" piano playing along with unique harmonies will enjoy listening to what I am now able to share.

Please view the “About” page for specifics about my YouTube videos, along with some of the music I have recorded and performed. There you will find quotes and descriptions from listeners and fellow musicians about my work.
