5.0 out of 5 stars New Broadway Composer at his best!!!, May 2, 2006
By Daniel Wilson (Newcastle, Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Jason Robert Brown sprung onto the Broadway scene 10 years and this collection is some of the best of his compositions from "The Last Five Years", "Songs For A New World", "Parade", "Urban Cowboy" and various songs that he has written for various projects. It's sophisticated, yet an absolute joy to play, perform or simply listen to.

Everyone song is a special little gem in itself. It also includes many songs that have never been available in print, like "See I'm Smiling", "The Picture Show" and the fun loving "Mr. Hopalong Heartbreak".

What excites me about this anthology is the inclusion of "Letting You Go", "Dreaming Wide Awake" and "If I Told You Now" from Lauren Kennedy's JRB album and also "Coming Together", "Getting Out" and "Someone To Fall Back On" (probably my favourite JRB song of all time - makes my heart skip a beat everytime I hear that song - musically and lyrically stunning).

All in all - a challenge and pleasure for all who play or perform this music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a collection of this oustanding songwriters work!!, July 6, 2006
I saw this book in my local music store and was so shocked to see such an amazing collection of songs by Jason Robert Brown! I barely looked at the songs included because I was so excited.

However, on getting home I realized that all of the songs in the book are amazing! It is a really wide variety of his work, with songs from all of his shows and CDs! It is an extremely nice book as well, and the selections are very good. They are wonderful for the singer and for the accompanist. The piano parts are almost identical to the recordings and are sometimes very challenging but always enjoyable.

This book is especially amazing because of some very rare selections. "Just One Step" is one of the amazing selections included from Songs For A New World that I don't think is published anywhere else. "See I'm Smiling" is one of my favourite songs from Last Five Years and I think is only published in this collection. Also, the AMAZING selections from Lauren Kennedys solo album are not published anywhere and are among the songwriters best work. The songs from his own solo album "Wearing Someone Else's Clothes" are also very, very good.

This book is essential to anyone who wants to fully experience Jason Robert Brown's songs! And everyone should want to!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Collection for this Young Broadway Songwriter, April 14, 2006
A great collection for any fan of this young broadway songwriter, this book contains most of his well known compositions, presented in full, just as they should be. Featuring songs from Songs for a New World, Parade, Urban cowby, Last Five Years, Lauren Kennedy and Wearing someone elses clothes, you get a strong folio of notable charts. The music is arranged well, and easy accessible to the interested musician.
