By Eric Baumgartner

(Willis). Book 1 of a two-volume series that presents the fundamentals of jazz in a logical and accessible way, primarily through short progressive exercises. Ideal for classically trained pianists in traditional lessons who are a little cautious of learning jazz, as well as for those simply wishing to expand their existing "jazzabilities." Also very useful for pianists interested in participating in a school jazz program. The online audio tracks are indispensable to the series, in particular the fun and practical Q&A improv exercises. Features 9 performance pieces: Funkasaurus * Midtown Strut * Jumpin' Jazz * Stepping Out * Petite Waltz * Elling Tones * Blue Bop * Avenue D * Big Earl's Honky Tonk Blues. Concepts covered include: * Improvisation * Swing rhythms * Common jazz chords and scales * Accompaniment techniques * 12-bar blues, and much more! NOTE: Jazz Piano Basics is a revised and vastly expanded version of the Jazzabilities series.
