(Music Sales America). The handy and compact layout of this convenient
chord book allows you to quickly and easily find the chord you are
looking for. Its layout of the almost innumerable harmonic variations of
each piano chord, as well as the great reference system for
substitutions and related chords, makes this book invaluable for any
pianist looking to expand their harmonic horizons. It is not only a
reference guide, though. The lengthy introduction explores what jazz
harmony is, how chord variations and voicings contribute to it, and how
knowing them can enhance your playing incomparably. With sections for
chords built from every root note, divided into major, minor, dominant,
diminished and augmented, this book is not comprehensive but is as close
to that as you can get. The infinite different ways of voicing each
chord are condensed into the most popular and musically interesting, so
you'll be able to use The Jazz Piano Chord Book to help you improvise
with other musicians in an inventive way, or just to comp with other
players competently. Spiral bound.
