About this item

by Jeremy Siskind (Author)

Jazz Piano Fundamentals (Book 3) is master-teacher Jeremy Siskind's welcoming, clear, and detailed guide to modal and modern jazz piano study.

Jazz Piano Fundamentals (Book 3) guides intermediate jazz students through the jazz piano world of artists like McCoy Tyner, Bill Evans, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Brad Mehldau, Keith Jarrett, Geri Allen, Mulgrew Miller, and others by providing clear, thoughtful, and progressive lessons, improvisation exercises, rote exercises, written exercises, listening guides, transcription projects, and practice plans. Every unit includes frequently asked questions and exclusive video content to ensure that all subjects are presented clearly and with sufficient depth.

Subjects include modal patterns, So What voicings, quartal voicings, cluster voicings, pentatonic voicings, upper structures, triad pairs, pentatonic improvising, modes of the major scale, modes of the melodic minor scale, planing, sidesteps, tonicizations, playing "out," free improvisation, odd meters, and more.

In the six guided transcription projects, students are coached through completing their own transcriptions of solos by Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter, Kenny Kirkland, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, and Brad Mehldau. Then, they are shown how to assimilate elements of these masters' styles into their own improvisations.

This book is designed to be used in conjunction with The Real Book, Volume 6.
