5.0 out of 5 stars
A superb self-teaching manual or supplementary resource for intermediate to advanced piano instructors,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jazz Harmony and Improvisation : Scores and Recordings of Original Tunes (Paperback)
Jazz Harmony & Improvisation: Scores and Recordings of Original Tunes is a pedagogical book packed cover to cover with brief musical scores, along with an accompanying MP3 format CD of the scores being played. The goal is to help students learn techniques of improvisation and chord voicing using author Richar Drexler's scale system. Richard Drexler and fellow composer Herb Silverstein have assembled a total of fifty tunes - most of which are represented in little more than one page of musical notation - suitable for practice, demonstration, and careful personal evaluation. The text expounds upon the chord scales and how to make the most of them while learning to play jazz with style and flair. A superb self-teaching manual or supplementary resource for intermediate to advanced piano instructors, Jazz Harmony & Improvisation is highly recommended.
