David is well known in piano playing circles and he is in great demand as a teacher and composer. He regularly plays in a duo with concertina player Simon Thoumire and is the joint musical director of the acclaimed Folk superband The Unusual Suspects. The music in this book is influenced by David's love of jazz and his unique mix of the Scottish traditional  and contemporary tunes offers a chance for pianists to explore the potential of these types of Scottish arrangements. As well as the tunes there is useful information on style and suggestions of other types of arrangements which can be developed from these settings. Complimenting the book is a delightful 15 track audio CD featuring David playing some tunes from the book.
