  • I have always played classical piano and desperately wanted to learn jazz. I have tried many books with no success. Mark levines book is the best jazz piano book I have ever had.
    Jazz piano is hard for classical students and it's hard to find a book that will work and teach you proper techniques.
    Bill evans is a jazz icon and thi book will help you sound like him.
    The mark levine piano book can be bought here

    I appreciate your passion for this book. It helps that you’re sharing this information from a genuine perspective, and it’s not just some plug.

    Jeremy Siskind has an amazing series of books called Jazz Piano Fundamentals. Each book is a semester worth of jazz piano studies. He also has a great youtube channel, highly recommended!

    PLEASE READ
    When editing, i ment to put a time stamp in at 6.00 min so you cant skip me talking about how i started piano
    I went off on one (as per usual lol) but kept it in because some people like a story
    So if im boring....skip to about 6 mins when i start talking about the book

    I love this video, I wouldn't mind if the channel was all about that:D Working my way through the Levine book currently, too. I don't understand how people get from the "Practice 2-5-1s in all keys with the root and shell voicing 3 and 7" to @11:20 "Oh now I've got 9ths and 13ths etc", though. Happened in multiple videos, it's like other people vanish through an interdimensional gate while practicing 2-5-1s and suddenly they're adding all these tensions and nobody has bothered to explain the intermediate steps. Well, it'll probably make sense further along in the book..

    Nice video. The Em7 - A7- Ab6, is just tritone substitution expanded into a 251. Normally the Em-A7 would lead us to D, but as Ab is a tritone from D, we can get away with the 251 from D and vice versa. It usually is explained as just one chord for example A7-Ab6 but the em just makes it a 25. But you probably understand that by now haha

      Appreciate the comment, this was just a review of the book, it wasn't intended as a tutorial
      I may make one for 2 5 1s though, as I would have loved to have seen what I learned from this book when I was starting out

      And Kent Hewitt. Then there are Adam Maness and Peter Martin of Open Studio, Piano With Jonny (Jonny May), Aimee Nolte, Bijan Taghavi, Noah Kellman, PianoGroove, Jimindorothy, PianoPig, Julian Bradley, Zoey Music,,,
      Two of my favourites, though, are Stijn Wauters and Peter Anderson Online Piano Teacher, although Jeff Schneider also has some good keyboard material in the broader context of his improvisation videos.

    • @johnstewart1665
      @johnstewart1665 9 месяцев назад +2

      Jazz Theory Resources by Bert Ligon (for theoretical understanding), Jazz Keyboard Harmony by Phil DeGreg, published by Jamey Aebersold Jazz (for a practical method to learn keyboard voicings and application to jazz standards), and Tim Richards' Exploring Jazz Piano Piano volumes 1 & 2 and his Improvising Blues Piano (both are hands-on and aptly described as harmony, technique, and improvization). In this Richards' series of books I would recommend starting the blues book first.

    I’m a beginner/intermediate jazz piano player. Until I found the “Jazz Piano Book “, I was stuck with some boring playing. This book has changed me so much that I have a new beginning in a leap forward into what I want to do. The book is well worth the money if you really read it.

    This was the 1st book available, and so boring and misleading. I wish I had Kent Hewitt’s book 20 years earlier.
