This how-to book covers how to move between adjacent harmonies with minimal motion using good sounding state of the art voicings. This well-organized handling of common harmonic situations found in contemporary jazz provides an in-depth examination of what makes good piano players sound great. There are 15 short chapters that cover a range of materials for the jazz keyboardist. A glossary, suggested listening and a semester's syllabus for a jazz keyboard lab are included.--Ministry of Education website.
