The Jazz Piano Book is one of the most acclaimed and comprehensive jazz piano methods ever published, often regarded as a standard reference in jazz education. Far more than a traditional theory book, it uses authentic examples from landmark jazz recordings to demonstrate how techniques, voicings, and phrasing are applied in real musical contexts.
The progression begins with the fundamentals and gradually moves into advanced concepts, while highlighting the most influential jazz pianists and styles from the 1930s to the 1990s.
Topics include comping, “So What” chords, block chords, and many more essential techniques, offering pianists both a strong theoretical foundation and practical tools for improvisation and accompaniment. Written in a clear and engaging style, the book balances theory with real musical application, making it both inspiring and highly useful.
Target group: Designed for intermediate pianists with prior knowledge of intervals, chords, key signatures, and the most common scales, who want to deepen their understanding and expression in jazz piano.
