The complete guide to playing jazz standards from a fake book, for the beginning-to-intermediate pianist. Starts out with "seven-three" open chord voicings and jazz swing & bossa nova rhythms, then moves on to block voicing, left-hand patterns, playing the melody from a fake book, and soloing over the changes. If you want to learn how to play the enduring standards that make up the Great American Songbook, this is the perfect book for you! All of the audio examples are available online, using a special access code printed inside the book.
This method is based on techniques developed at the world-famous Grove School of Music in Los Angeles, and the audio tracks include many examples based on classic jazz tunes.
