4.0 out of 5 stars
A book for a particular user
I have used this book for several years. It is useful for someone who already knows how to play but is clueless about improvisation. It defines the terms that are peculiar to the jazz idiom, with examples. Now that I have more experience, I still use it as a reference.

1.0 out of 5 stars
bloated and tedious
There's a lot of talk here and very little action. The musical examples are difficult to read (poor resolution). In any case, I don't buy the premise: the "classical pianist" should do very well with the proven texts of Jerry Coker and John Mehegan. (I also recommend PENTATONIC SCALES FOR THE JAZZ-ROCK KEYBOARDIST by Jeff Burns.)
