5.0 out of 5 stars Great for learning jazz, September 23, 2000
By 
Edward O'Grady (Brooklyn, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Best Chord Changes for the Most Requested Standards (Plastic Comb)
This is the best book for someone who wants to move up into the jazz arena. I was a musician for twenty years before I was brave enough to play solo jazz piano and this is one of the books that allowed me to get much better. I had bought every other jazz piano book and I did not get anything out of them. Only this and one other Mantooth book did it, with a little help from one other book. Buy it, you'll never regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Chord Progression Techniques, March 8, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Best Chord Changes for the Most Requested Standards (Plastic Comb)
Referred from anohter piano player, this book offers an excellent selection of well known standards and pop tunes with one of the best arrangements for jazz piano to come by in a long time. No bass cleffs are included: this book is for piano players who use chords and improvise bass lines normally. But the chord progressions are a wonderful surprise and help illustrate what you can do with harmonics and a good bass line.

2.0 out of 5 stars Wheresooth, Mantooth?, July 6, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Best Chord Changes for the Most Requested Standards (Plastic Comb)
The big, in-most-cases two page layout of these tunes makes for easy reading. It's a great selection of tunes, which is why I bought it in the first place. However, I was really hoping for some creative chord change alternatives. I mean, when I read "... with professionally altered chords" my impression was there was some in-depth thinking about substituting the chords from the original. Unfortunately no or at least, not so much.
