1.0 out of 5 stars it should get zero stars, October 8, 2002
This review is from: Pentatonic Scales for the Jazz/Rock Keyboardist (Jazz Book) (Paperback)
If you are looking for a good thoery/method book covering "Jazz Piano", I suggest Mark Levine's "Jazz Piano Book". It is also on Amazon. It covers Penatatonic Scales and much, much more. There are other good books too, but you can't go wring with Mark's.

So, this is just another voice telling you not to waste your money on Jeff Burn's book. As other reviewers have noted, the 5 star reviews have got to be either from the publisher, author, or Jeff's mom. The book is pretty much nothing but a scale list.

1.0 out of 5 stars Highly Questionable, December 3, 2001
By 
This review is from: Pentatonic Scales for the Jazz/Rock Keyboardist (Jazz Book) (Paperback)
I find it interesting that all the reviews for this book seem to be from a "reader" from somewhere USA and are very anonymous. I have also noticed that several of these "readers" have been writing negative reviews for other music books. Seems as if the author's friends are working overtime.

Just noticing.

1.0 out of 5 stars Zero stars, worthless set of scales, July 22, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Pentatonic Scales for the Jazz/Rock Keyboardist (Jazz Book) (Paperback)
Actually not scales, this consists entirely of a single scale, with some transpositions. This "book" is really worthless and I consider it a rip off because of the misleading reviews posted by the author. All the references in other music reviews to this book must be by the author himself. They all have the same exact format.. and no one who had seen this book would recommend it. Save your money.
