Written voicings for 68 jazz standards!
You may have noticed that every jazz musician and teacher has at least some basic piano knowlwdge. There is a very good reason for that. Being able to sit down at a keyboard and play the chords to a song provides essential harmonic insight and awareness that can't be acqired with single-line study. This book, designed by a horn player with no formal piano training, addresses and explains the basics of authentic, hip sounding chord voicings in simple, non-pianistic language. You'll be comping on your own over Standards in a short period of time. Includes written voicings over many of the most popular Aebersold play-a-long tracks (including 11 tracks from Volume 54 "Maiden Voyage"), so you can comp with bass and drums backing you up! No piano skills are required to use this book effectively. All of the play-a-long tracks can be ordered separately, or you can take advantage of the 21 free tracks provided below.
