Youre just two hours from sounding "bluesy"By Eric SedenskyIve been playing jazz piano for about two years now; and have had great success with The Jazz Piano Book (as one might imagine). The next book that has served me well is Post-Bop Jazz Piano - The Complete Guide with CD!: Hal Leonard Keyboard Style Series; which is from the same series as the Jazz Blues Piano book under review. So; when I began looking for a book to help me sound bluesy; something noticeably lacking from my skill set; I gravitated toward this book for that reason and because my piano instructor didnt have this book (although he had many others in the same series). I have to say; that overnight; this became my favorite book to work from. There are a lot of reasons for that. First is that this book contains a good dose of easy-to-digest jazz music theory and explanation. The student can choose to skip over this and concentrate on playing the exercises; but I chose to read everything carefully and to try and understand and apply it; and I found it very useful. I was also quite pleasantly surprised when I found myself playing a ii-V-I progression (the backbone of jazz music) in a fashion I had never been shown before (with a moving bass note changing the mode of the chord). I was fascinated; and it made it easy for me to work on doing it in all twelve keys (which is normally drudgery); and to quickly press on in the book. As I played through the exercises; read through the material; then reached the exercises that are on the CD; I kept working on the suggested chords. Because Im not a raw beginner; the first twenty pages went very quickly; and all of a sudden I found myself at about twenty pages in on exercise 9 practicing a straight up blues lick. Thats right: two hours and I was playing blues. Very; very exciting. Like all piano books; including a number I have reviewed; this still requires practice and stick-to-itive-ness; but this book provides some small rewards on every page; which I find quite motivational and desirable. I can easily picture myself working through this entire book in a relatively short period of time. Beginning piano students will still need to work on some of this material with an instructor; but anybody with a good technical foundation in piano and at least a small amount of jazz knowledge should be able to work through most of this by themselves; thanks to the useful and well executed CD. Although there are many options and levels available; if you want to sound jazzy or bluesy; without a lot of fuss and without spending a lot of money or time; I really think this book is the best and simplest place to start.9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. "jazzy" blues; but far from jazz bluesBy Dylan EdwardsReally not a thorough book for those looking for ways to develop a jazz blues style. I was looking forward to a more swinging; Jimmy Smith-esque blues; but instead there is nothing but a couple chords and some common sense blues licks; and nothing about soloing that you cant find in any other blues book.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Excellent for Intermediate Pianists!!!By JeanI just love this book!It gives you the foundations for all types of Jazz-blues styles. By the time you finish this youll be able to know exactly what is being played on a jazz-blues or blues record. This will help to really continue your developement after you get through the book.It covers harmonic foundations; rythmic motifs; comping; and improvisational keys used in the various jazz-blue styles.If followed properly; by analysing all the lessons and transposing them and mixing and matching the different styles and also improvising on the different examples; this book will take you from intermediate to advance in a matter of months.This is a jewel.
