Get the Jazz Piano Book

If you have ever looked for a really good, straight ahead, no nonsense jazz piano book, then you have to check out Mark Levine's book called The Jazz Piano Book.  I think every musician should have a good grasp of basic jazz piano, even if you're technique sucks.  You should still be able to voice and play good sounding voicings over chord changes.  If you are a writer, do yourself a favor and get this book.  It will expand your knowledge of voicings, tunes, chord progressions, you name it.  I often crack out this book just as a refresher and I always seem to pick up something new. Here is more information, and you can even get a used copy for less than the cost of a 1/2 hour piano lesson.

Reviews for The Jazz Piano Book

Simply the Best! This is a great book on jazz piano. It should be part of every jazz pianist library - even beginners. This book is geared more toward intermediate players, but it will act as a great guide no matter what your level of expertise. It`s nice to see a well formatted book. I`m so tired of buying jazz piano books that were hammered out on a typewriter. I was pretty green when I got this book. I worked thru the first few chapters and put it down for a while. I picked it up again the other day (needed something to read on a long flight), and was amazed at all the good stuff in there. It will be quite a while before I`m able to assimilate all the information in this book which is probably appropriate as it is the result of tens of thousands of hours of work on Mark`s part and hundreds of thousands of hours of work on the part of all those who came before him. Highly recommended!
