Description

This book is for pianists with some basic knowledge but wish to learn to play jazz. I cover the blues, chord construction, the II-V-I sequence and many improvising techniques.
My approach is clear and systematic with 78 illustrations. Scales lead to chords and the chords link into sequences. The object is to solo through a jazz standard with a full understanding of scales, modes and chord symbols. We will cover the following topics:

The circle of 5ths
Turnarounds
The II-V-I sequence
Turnarounds
Extensions and alterations
7th chords
Modes and modal music
Comping
The diminished sequence

Book 2 is in preparation.
