"Le Livre du Piano Jazz" deals with the basic techniques and advanced art of playing - from Art Tatum to Mulgrew Miller. The structure of this volume is quite unusual : Instead of putting all voicings in one chapter and the theory in another, the topics alternate in the course of the book. Mark Levine always explains music theory by using transcriptions and pieces that are often played by jazz musicians.
The selection ranges from standards like "Just Friends" to "Infant Eyes", the beautiful ballad by Wayne Shorter. "Le Livre du Piano Jazz" is aimed primarily at pianists. But thanks to the visual advantages offered by the piano, even other instrumentalists and singers have easy access to the jazz harmonies. A book that shall inspire you to practise and explore your piano ! Instrumentation : piano
