ENDORSEMENTS "This
is one of the finest new jazz instruction books on the market. Written
by an experienced, professional jazz player, the book is practical and
unpretentious, with lots of valuable information for the beginning,
intermediate or advanced improviser. The informality of his style cannot
hide Mark's seriousness, attention to detail and true love of jazz
piano." "One
of the best jazz piano books I've ever seen - very easy to
understand." "A
brilliant, comprehensive, exciting and highly readable book. It unlocks
door after door of contemporary piano jazz sounds." "I
really like this book because it covers all the bases. An invaluable
resource for any keyboard player." "One
of the most complete anthologies on jazz piano in recent years. The
research and attention to detail, the nuances and musical examples in
each chapter are most refreshing, as are the photos. Stylistically
covering artists from Teddy Wilson through Mulgrew Miller, in a way that
has rarely been dealt with in other jazz piano literature." "This
is a great book!" "This
book comes closer than any other book I have yet come across to giving
the student an insight into the art, and needs, of playing modern jazz
piano. With the comprehensive exploration of all the basic techniques in
common use that this book offers, along with the inclusion of chapters
on such important and often overlooked areas as comping and Latin Jazz,
I think this book deserves a place on every modern jazz teacher's
bookshelf." "For
anyone who is interested in acquiring the basics of contemporary jazz
piano playing, this book is a must!" "'The
Jazz Piano Book' is a comprehensive text (with) in-depth explanations
supported by many superb musical examples in every chapter. A
comprehensive text (with) smooth progress from easy material to more
advanced techniques." "An
incredibly thorough and yet personal look at the vast subject of jazz
piano. The scholarly historical perspective combines with excellent
practical examples of different styles and approaches to the keyboard.
Applause for one of the truly fine pianists of our time for putting his
vast expertise, experience and musicality into book form." |
