Jazz Chords On Piano -2 by Tormod Vinsand (2017). This book is a follow-up on Jazz Chords on Piano (WH32971) and it is definitely an advantage if you have familiarised yourself with the techniques and terms used in Jazz Chords on Piano. There are many ways in which to play jazz on a piano. In Jazz Chords on Piano I describe some guidelines for how to prepare accompaniment and melody playing but admittedly there are of course many other ways to play or other techniques to use. In Jazz Chords on Piano - 2 I have chosen to focuson four typical techniques: Part 1 - Playing Arpeggioin left handPart 2 - 4-stacked chords in a piano movementPart 3 - Left-hand chordsPart 4 - Overlying triads when accompanying To illustrate the various techniques I have made compositions that are stylistically adjusted so that the various techniques make musical sense and are playable.

The Bluesier Side of Jazz by Andrew D. Gordon was inspired by the Piano students he teaches at Shepherd University School of Music in Los Angeles and is dedicated to those students: Jungwon Yumiko Yoko Eunice Sooji Hae Ji and Ok Kyu. As with many students that come from a classical background (including himself) it is a difficult transition to learn to play Blues and Jazz. When a musician improvises they usually play a variety of riffs or phrases that they have developed and learnt over a period of time and can access these phrases instantaneously whatever key they are playing in to create a seamless improvised solo from the phrases they havelearnt.Andrew's idea for this book is to create phrases or riffs over two measures of various Blues progressions. He sub-divided each of the 12 Bar Blues progressions used in this book (the chord progression for Watermelon Man is a 16 measure progression) into six sections (two measures each) and within each of the six sections created four different phrases or riffs so that the student has a choice of four different phrases to play over every two measures. They can then create a solo based on which phrase they choose for each two measures. By breaking down these phrases to two measures each he has found that the students have an easier time of learning to improvise than by trying to transcribe a whole solo from an audio recording or leaving them to their own devices in trying to play a solo based on the Blues scale or other related scales.Each of the ten examples are based on common Jazz/Blues chord progressions from Jazz songs such as 'Watermelon Man' 'Blue Monk' 'Tenor Madness' 'Route 66' 'Blue Trane' 'Bag's Groove' starting off with basic I-IV-V chords and increasing in complexity throughout the book. There are over 200 phrases/riffs to choose from that can be learned and applied to many types of jazz songs.

The scope of the genres and styles in Jazz Piano Studies 2 is broader compared to that of Jazz Piano Studies 1 (H5020) since it also covers the various off shoots of contemporary popular music related only marginally to jazz.The selection of twenty studies is aimed at amateur Piano players who are interested in jazz and popular music and serves in particular for the improvement of technique and style. The studies also equip pianists with the necessary grounding for their own improvisation although they can also be used by professional Piano players.
