(Instructional). Introduces a blues scale system that produces idiomatic sounds characteristic of early blues, Dixieland, boogie, swing and rock. Instruction begins with one-measure phrases followed by a step-by-step approach to twelve-measure improvisation.
(Piano Method). This book contains the chord progressions found in most jazz standards. Each progression is written with chord voicings which are indigenous to the style. The book is divided into two sections. The first section uses chord voicings with the root as the bottom note. This voicing is appropriate when playing with a jazz group where there is no bass player. Chord voicings with the third or seventh of the chord as the bottom note are the basis for section two. This voicing is useful when a bass player is present to provide the root movement. The same progressions appear in both sections. The study of this material will help prepare the player for fake book reading and comping with a group.
(Instructional). This book is a logical follow-up to An Introduction To Jazz Chord Voicing For Keyboard. It continues to explore contemporary chord voicings and their application to melody and accompaniment playing with a jazz group. All chord voicings and the II V I chord progression are written out in all keys. The appendices from both books combined are virtually an encyclopedia of chord voicings. Chapter assignments require experimentation with actual jazz tunes taken from sheet music or fake books. Practical experiences in comping and solo playing are included.
