This review is from: The Princess and the Frog (Pvg) (Paperback)

Randy Newman wrote the music & lyrics for the film and I had enjoyed the music while watching. Mr. Newman has written many scores, but many of his songs are a vocal line with basic chordal accompaniment and I did not enjoy them since I don't sing or transpose very well. I was happy to play through the selections in this book and find that the piano portion supplied the melody and accompaniment very nicely. The film story was set in New Orleans and the music was appropriately jazzy.
