      Jazz Piano Ad-Lib Phrases - Akimitsu Iwase

      ISBN: 9781620956670

      Introduction:

      This textbook consists of eight chapters, containing training exercises and practical examples.

      Chapters 1, 6 and 7 are given for the purpose of training. Chapter 1 is compulsory and is most useful for beginners; chapters 6 and 7 are useful for advanced learners. Chapter 2, 3, 4 and 5 contain examples of practical jazz phrases. These phrases are not taken literally from a particular jazz pianist, but rather include well-known patterns typical of the bebop and post-bebop eras.
