Quartal, quintal, drop 2, dominant 7b9/diminished, triadic, whole tone and chromatic performance proven voicings pioneered by McCoy Tyner, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, and Andy himself are presented and fleshed out in all twelve keys. This book picks up where others leave off, enabling you to replace static chords with voicings that move melodically, dramatically, and gracefully over the entire range of the keyboard. Firmly rooted in contemporary jazz theory, the emphasis is on practical performance applications. Andy ties it all together with illustrations of comping choruses for five standard jazz tunes. Chords in Motion satisfies a long awaited need in actual comping situations, and shows you how to move chords through varying harmonic rhythms.

Je suis honoré d'écrire quelques mots à propos d'un des plus grands pianistes, Kenny Barron. Il a été une figure importante de la scène New Yorkaise durant quarante ans et il fait partie de l'élite des pianistes de jazz dans le monde.
J'ai tout d'abord rencontré Mr Barron en 1977 dans un haut lieu du duo piano/basse, au Bradley's, dans Greenwich Village. Je l'ai entendu à Cincinnati (dans la ville où j'habitais) en 1974 avec le Quartette de Yusef Lateef et fus très impressionné. Au Bradley's, il était chaleureux et a été très encourageant avec moi, pianiste de 21 ans récemment arrivé à Big Apple (New York). Le moment venu, il me laissa m'asseoir avec son bassiste, le grand Buster Williams - ce fut un réel plaisir.
Lorsque j'ai commencé à réaliser des CD pour le bénéfice de Classical Action : Performing Arts Against AIDS, dans le début des années 90, je lui ai demandé de participer au second enregistrement Fred Hersch and Friends : The Duo Album en jouant un duo avec moi. Cette organisation collecte des fonds vraiment nécessaires pour les services de personnes atteintes du Sida et la prévention. Kenny, sans attendre, donna de son temps et joua magnifiquement. Il apparaît aussi sur le disque suivant, The Richard Rodgers Centennial Solo Jazz Piano Album .
Nous avons également joué à deux pianos à New York au Town Hall et deux fois au Jazz Standard, pour mon plus grand plaisir. C'est un partenaire merveilleux et compréhensif, disposé à tout essayer. Bien qu'il soit difficile de l'identifier, et je ne veux le mettre dans aucune sorte de boîtes, je perçois son style comme étant en grande partie influencé par McCoy Tyner (les lignes longues et claires) et Tommy Flanagan (le phrasé et l'utilisation de l'espace). Il a réussi à obtenir le statut rare de maître du jazz par la vertu de sa longévité, sa profondeur et sa musicalité. Nous partageons tous les deux une passion pour la musique de Monk, Strayhorn et de l'American Popular Songbook et nous sommes tous les deux de grands partisans de l'idée de rendre ce que nous avons absorbé en enseignant aux jeunes pianistes et en devenant leurs mentors.
En plus, il a une personnalité chaleureuse et engageante - il est d'un grand soutien, a un grand sens de l'humour et une attitude posée. Je suis très heureux que ce livre puisse apporter un éclairage sur le parcours du pianiste Kenny Barron - je suis sûr que cela sera d'une grande valeur musicale et historique pour tous ceux qui suivent l'évolution du piano jazz. / Jazz / Partition /
