Avez-vous de la peine à entendre les accords qui sous-tendent vos improvisations ? Avez-vous besoin de les enregistrer pour vous exercer ? Voulez-vous vous débrouiller pour remplacer au pied levé le pianiste du groupe ? Avez-vous besoin d?accompagner vos élèves ? Après avoir suivi une formation classique, cherchez-vous une introduction à l?improvisation et au jazz ?

Cet ouvrage se propose de vous initier progressivement aux bases de l?accompagnement.
? Expérimenter différentes manières de construire des accords.
? Mettre dans les mains les enchaînements d?accords les plus fréquents.
? Explorer les bases de l?harmonie par la pratique du clavier.
? Intégrer des rythmes simples pour mettre en place un accompagnement efficace et pour enrichir votre imagination rythmique.
? Acquérir les réflexes nécessaires pour réaliser instantanément une « grille ».
