5.0 out of 5 stars
A great book for the jazz starter, inter. and/or advanced!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Jazz Improvisation for Keyboard Players : Includes Book 1, Basic Concepts, Book 2, Intermediate Concepts, and Book 3, Advanced Concepts (Paperback)
This is a great book written by a great jazz player. It is easy to understand for the beginner, yet at a high enough level for the more advanced player. An excellent reference for scales, modes, or any other jazz techniques. I found that if I studied this book, it helped me out memorizing and remembering QUICKLY how to apply them to the piano. A must buy!

This review is from: Jazz Improvisation for Keyboard Players: Complete (Paperback)
I was a student a Berklee when this first was published.
After I had bought it, I was talking to my piano teacher. He commented that this book encapsulates everything that they were trying to teach in the piano program. Hyperbole? Perhaps, but it's still a ringing endorsement.

This review is from: Jazz Improvisation for Keyboard Players: Complete (Paperback)
"Jazz Improvisation for Keyboard Players" is just what I needed! As a professional cellist, and as a pianist of relatively modest skills, I have been looking for something that already assumes I know the basics of music theory. I don't need all of the chords spelled out in every key, nor do I have the time to read a 500-page tome. The book goes straight to practical suggestions, and the text, examples and exercises are well integrated. I wish I had known about this book years ago!
