Beginning Jazz Piano - An Introduction to Swing, Blues, Latin and Funk
Part 2 - Harmony, Improvisation, Accompanying & Reading from Lead Sheets
This book is aimed at players with some piano experience who wish to develop a grasp of the basic tools required to play and improvise in a jazz style.
Chapter 1: Harmony & Improvisation Builds on the concepts covered in Part 1 to help you deal with typical situations such as 32-bar sequences, II V I, playing in 3/4, etc.
Develop your improvisation skills using techniques such as pentatonic scales, modes, arpeggios, broken chords, horizontal and vertical improvisation
Online resources include downloadable AUDIO FILES of every piece, BACKING tracks, and interactive REPLAY tracks featuring scrollable music and adjustable tempos
Chapter 2: Accompanying An essential skill for anyone playing in a duo situation, or for vocalists wishing to accompany themselves at the piano.
Build your own bass lines in a range of styles, including two-feel, walking bass, blues, funk, bossa nova
Add chords in the right hand and learn how to comp in the style of tunes such as All of Me and One Note Samba
Chapter 3: Interpreting Lead Sheets Follow the Lead Sheet Protocol to help you get away from reading sheet music and start creating your own arrangements like professional jazz pianists.
Explore a variety of left-hand styles including shells, rootless chords, stride piano
Learn how to play melodies using two-handed voicings in four- and five-part harmony
Beginning Jazz Piano includes seven originals alongside traditional standards such St James Infirmary, When the Saints Go Marching In and Indiana. This is the ideal book to use with your piano teacher, but the backing and Replay tracks make it equally accessible to those studying on their own.
