Exploring Jazz Piano Book 2

Exploring Jazz Piano 2 is an excellent and thoroughly comprehensive guide to harmony technique and improvisation for Jazz Piano written by jazz pianist Tim Richards.

Building on the material covered in volume 1 the second book examines advanced jazz harmony and improvisation introducing more colourful sounds from sus-4 and sharp-11 chords to diminished and altered scales.

All of the styles featured in this book cover the periods from the 1940s to the 21st century. This is an excellent resource for those who play in a band teach piano or just enjoy playing as a soloist whether at home or in concert.

The accompanying CD contains versions of all the pieces presented in this book many of which have been recorded with bass and drums accompaniment.
