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!
Just bought the book and found you by seaching for “Mark Levine Jazz”. I smile while listening to you: as different as we might be for cultural, societal, and other background, what you are saying resonates so much with me! I just told my piano teacher, that I want Levine to be my textbook for 2025 and she is looking forward to the journey, together! 😊
BTW: lots of good suggestions (I suppose, I quite ignorant in jazz) in the comments: I cannot evaluate this book, but it’ll be my starting point. And I love the humour in the written text 😂
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
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..
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.
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.
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.
@@Themozartthug If I may interject, I think the Mark Levine book is great, but I'd also recommend at least the first two volumes of the four-volume series, "The Contemporary Jazz Pianist", by Bill Dobbins, and "Practical Jazz Piano" by Robert Larson.
What on earth led you to believe this is a tutorial. The title is literally called "book review". It's a review. Not a lesson. You are completely and utterly confused. Please seek help.

Found you by mistake, and like you was taught classical but always wanted to learn jazz, just sent for 5he book. Hope I can manage it at 82 thanks.

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.
😂😂 I never knew I needed a Jazz piano lesson in a cockney accent. Then when I saw your channel name I laughed so hard man. Subbed.
You are pretty convincing. Thanks for the talk !

I so love your enthusiasum about learning jazz!!
I have bad technique also. No one can teach me! I try to l re arn from books also.

I've been teaching myself jazz piano. Autodiadact. I'm not sure if my teacher is very good.
Excellent , I like your story
It would be great if you adjust the camera to see your hands. thank you
Good video man
This was the 1st book available, and so boring and misleading. I wish I had Kent Hewitt’s book 20 years earlier.

Have you found Tony Winston yet?

You mentioned all of my favorites, plus a few I never heard of. Going to check them out.
@@eduardoinke7081 Stupidly, I forgot to mention Jeremy Siskind and Paul Tobey (aka Jazzmentl).
I have this book. Like 27 😊
Don't agree.

Crappy teaching. This talk is all about yourself, and not about teaching jazz. My patience ...
