Excellent Study for the Jazz Student, Sep 4 2001
By grant a. davis - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: More Giants of Jazz Piano (Paperback)
Note-for-note written out jazz arragements from the all time greatest players - perfect for anyone (like me) who wants to study and learn jazz. But I had only heard of a few of the songs - to me - it would have been much more enjoyable to study more "main stream" standards. That said, you take the selections for their study value: find the complex chords substitions (b9/#5s, 11s and 13s) in actual context - transpose - try your tri-tone substitions for each - etc... There are also many RH runs/fills over I-VI-II-V-I patterns - excellent practice.For me - it's not a great "learn/play/sound like a pro" book - but rather an excellent in-context study of chords and style. This is very advanced and somewhat difficult stuff that might be discouraging for beginning players. But go for it - dig in!
