100 Ultimate Jazz Riffs for Piano/Keyboards

|
Due to the runaway success of "100
Ultimate Blues Riffs", Andrew D. Gordon's latest book "100
Ultimate Jazz Riffs" consists of, as the title suggests, 100 Jazz riffs
based on common chord progressions used in jazz such as the II-V-I, III-VI-II-V
etc. There are five separate sections: Jazz Swing, Jazz Ballad, Jazz Funk, Jazz
Waltz and Latin Jazz. Each musical example has a single note improvised melody
line with the right hand and chord accompaniment with the left hand. At the end
of the book there is the chord progression for the popular jazz standard
"Blue Moon" showing you how to use various examples from the 100 riffs
to create an improvised solo over the chord progression. By demonstrating this
technique you can pick most jazz standards and create your own improvisational
ideas using the book. The CD is recorded with the right hand piano part on the
right channel and the left hand piano part on the left channel (bass and drums
on both channels) with most of the examples recorded at normal and slowed down
tempos. An absolute must for musicians learning and playing various jazz styles.
Customer Comment On This Book Hi, I have purchased your " 100 ultimate riff
" book which I must say is one of the best books I have ever come
across period! as it has enabled me to achieve that Jazzy sound that I
have been searching for the last 7 years. Even the Jazz tutor that I
have had in the past have not been able to show me what your book has
shown me.... Just Like yourself I have learned to play and improvise
over the Blues but when it came to improvise over songs like
"Misty" and " Someone to watch over me " I was
completely lost for Notes to play that would sound good & Jazzy . I
had nearly given up hope in even trying to be a Jazz piano player for
the last 7 years but Many thanks to you and your wonderful book I can
see the light at the end of the tunnel! I would just like to say that I
am very very satisfied with your book and I think in is worth its weight
in gold...Many Many Thanks Have A Nice Day Rgrds. Dann y Manani Isleworth
