This book is the complete guide to playing smooth jazz piano. Covers keyboard harmony and voicings, rhythmic concepts, smooth jazz chord progressions and comping, characteristic stylings, melody and solo playing, history and development of jazz styles, and much more.

The play-along CD includes seven complete tunes in the styles of smooth jazz piano icons such as Brian Culbertson, Marcus Johnson and Bob James.


"This excellent book/CD combo starts you off by giving you a firm grounding in chord voicing and scale basics, but then has you making very cool grooves soon after. Though definitely right in the modern contemporary smooth jazz vein, the information in this book can easily be applied to gospel and pop styles. In addition to left and right hand independence, you'll learn which scales to draw upon for soloing, from the simplest to the most complex. A first rate package!" - How To Jam Magazine
