"A
brilliant, comprehensive, exciting and highly readable book. It unlocks
door after door of contemporary piano jazz sounds." "This
is a great book!" "This
book comes closer than any other book I have yet come across to giving
the student an insight into the art, and needs, of playing modern jazz
piano. With the comprehensive exploration of all the basic techniques in
common use that this book offers, along with the inclusion of chapters
on such important and often overlooked areas as comping and Latin Jazz,
I think this book deserves a place on every modern jazz teacher's
bookshelf." "For
anyone who is interested in acquiring the basics of contemporary jazz
piano playing, this book is a must!" "'The
Jazz Piano Book' is a comprehensive text (with) in-depth explanations
supported by many superb musical examples in every chapter. A
comprehensive text (with) smooth progress from easy material to more
advanced techniques." "An
incredibly thorough and yet personal look at the vast subject of jazz
piano. The scholarly historical perspective combines with excellent
practical examples of different styles and approaches to the keyboard.
Applause for one of the truly fine pianists of our time for putting his
vast expertise, experience and musicality into book form." |
