Jazz Improv is a core book of the Jazz in Focus Library, introducing
students to seventh chords, the ii-V-I chord progression, and approach
tones. As with the two previous improv books, the step-by-step approach
encompassing: 1) a simple concept, 2) a short demonstration piece, 3)
riffs for improvising, and 4) a free improvisation chart assures steady
progress and opens the door to more advanced study. Jazz Improv is an
essential introduction for any piano student who wants to begin the
study of jazz, and the material is flexible enough to be used by younger
as well as more experienced players.
