Title: Tough book
Product review: Great book but tough. This is not a book for people who simply want to learn about jazz or how to play in a jazz style. This is a book for people who want to play jazz and are familiar with jazz. The book consistently uses references to famous recordings that jazz fans will be familiar with. This is great in that if you know your jazz that you will be able to know what the author is talking about when he explains II-V-I progressions or how a sus chord leaves a suspended feel. Don't get this book if you: don't know how to play piano; are not familiar with jazz; can not read music; don't know all major and minor keys. I am on chapter 8 in this book, and sus chords, phrygian chords, rootless chords, tritonation, and right hand modifications to rootless chords has already been covered. If you are a jazz fan and want to not just play by feel but know what you are doing, this book will suit you.
