Book One begins with basic seventh chords and then applies a series of harmonic processes to familiar jazz standards. The areas covered include, three, four and five-part harmony, reharmonization, polychords, upper-structure triads, block chords, pentatonic harmony, concluding with a chapter on the influence of the classical piano repertoire on jazz piano. “It looks brilliant. I have found myself, as must many teachers, wishing I had such a handbook - this tome certainly fits the bill in its scholarly, thorough way.”   |
