A must have for all pianists seeking a creative approach to developing left and right hand coordination. The exercises and solos (based on the chord changes to well-known standards) are rhythmic, colorful, and fun to play. The chapters cover six specific areas of left hand development and left/right hand integration, with practical application from standard jazz tunes in the form of musical solo piano pieces. This book will definitely be an essential part of your practice routine. Besides improving your hand coordination, it will challenge you to think differently about it. All of the concepts are easily applicable to the real world. Highly endorsed! Pianist Emiko Hayashi has written a very comprehensive, challenging yet very accessible method book. With exercises designed for left hand alone and exercises designed to develop interplay between the hands, I wholeheartedly recommend this book. I\'ve already started practicing! - Kenny Barron In Etudes for Jazz Piano Emiko Hayashi illuminates a challenge that faces scores of jazz pianists at all levels; that of integrating the left hand in improvisation in a meaningful way, not only as an accompanist, but as an integral part of the whole. By taking various jazz standards and creating etudes specifically for the left hand as well as for developing coordination and the conversational aspects between the left and right hands, Ms. Hayashi illustrates many possibilities for expanding one�s technical and expressive range. I would think this set of etudes would be extremely useful to jazz pianists at any stage of development since the obvious outcome of the study will improve one�s ability to play melodically and expressively throughout the keyboard, without regard to the traditional roles of the left and right hands. - Todd Coolman It is understood that all musicians must play piano. Emiko\'s book fills a void for non-pianists addressing specific technical problems which will help towards being able to use the piano to improve and enlarge one\'s playing and composing, no matter what instrument you play. This is a hands-on book directed towards immediate results. - David Liebman

An Engaging Way To Practice Scale Patterns And Etudes While Learning Jazz. Par EVANS LEE. Scales have long been considered an essential element of keyboard mastery. They provide piano students the technical skill needed to play the instrument and give practical instruction in the basics of music theory. Jazz Piano Scales and Exercises presents a novel and more interesting way to practice patterns and etudes while learning jazz. Following the notation and fingerings for scales - major, harmonic minor, and melodic minor - in each of the 12 keys, three jazz exercises are given. These serve to reinforce the patterns and fingers and to give the player a sense of the melodies, rhythms, and harmonies that are integral to jazz stylings./ Recueil / Piano

Playing on the Changes features 13 jazz etudes through the various chord qualities found in standards and jazz tunes in all 12 keys. Areas covered include major 7th chords, minor 7th chords, dominant 7th chords (Mixolydian, altered dominant, and half-whole diminished), minor ii (flat-5) chords, tritone substitutions, and a variety of progressions using all of the above. Bob Mintzer has written out etude solos that traverse the changes in a way that familiarizes you with the sound of each harmonic setting. Each etude is modeled after ideas---such as melodic and rhythmic patterns that create continuity---and singable melodies that he recommends using when improvising through the chord changes. Using the TNT 2 software, listen to and analyze the etudes, and by removing Mintzer's saxophone from the mix, you can then practice and play these harmonic exercises on your own with a stellar rhythm section. The amazing TNT 2 software allows you to slow down the tempo, too! / Instruments En Do

Par VANDE GINSTE STEPHANE. On January 1st, 2016, Stephane Vande Ginste had an extraordinary intention: he planned to compose a 1-minute piece for piano every single day for the whole year. The result is an impressive collection of piano miniatures which - although contemporary - result in a variety of musical styles: apart from some experimental pieces, there are jazzy- and poppy pieces, more traditional 'etudes', polyphonic compositions and so on... The 366 pieces also tell various stories: from very emotional events like the terrorist attacks in Brussels over homages in honor of deceased artists (David Bowie,...) to birthdays and festive occasions,... . More than once, even poetry (Heinrich Heine,Anna Enquist, ..) or other pieces of art inspired Stephane to compose his daily one-minute piece. Every single composition originated from the 'here and now', and therefore capture the unfiltered feelings and emotions of that very unique moment in time: joy, enthusiasm, but also melancholy and sadness.

Par GARDNER JEFF. Nous savons que Debussy, quand on lui demandait quel système harmonique il suivait pour créer ses oeuvres, répondait : 'Mon bon plaisir'. Les pièces de ce recueil sont basées sur une libre variation de motifs. Si certaines des techniques utilisées - renversement, rétrogradation, renversement rétrograde - sont associées à la musique sérielle ou dodécaphonique, ces pièces ne sont absolument pas sérielles dans un sens strict. Elles ne sont pas non plus tonales ou atonales. J'ai cherché un langage qui naît de la liberté d'expression, plutôt que de la contrainte de règles et de paramètres d'écriture. Certaines pièces sont un écho rythmique au jazz ou au blues, d'autres une couleur de 20e siècle contemporain / classique (mais qu'est-ce que le contemporain ? Quelle année ? Pour qui ?). Tempo, dynamique, articulation sont laissés à la libre appréciation de l'interprète. J'espère que ces jeux, ces voyages musicaux vous conduiront vers des terres inconnues. Jeff Gardner Saquarema, Rio de Janeiro Novembre 2009 Je prends un très grand plaisir à jouer avec ces tournures mélodiques en forme d'études ! La grande liberté 'd'habillage' qu'elles suscitent : dynamique et traitement du son, articulation et phrasé, ornementation... construit autant la maîtrise instrumentale que la créativité musicale. A l'instar des Suites ou Partite de J.S. Bach, des Fantaisies de Telemann ou des improvisations inspirées de Steve Lacy, elles peuvent donner des ailes à l'apprenti improvisateur qui les fera 'tourner' dans ses doigts et dans sa mémoire. La fantaisie ainsi éveillée révèlera alors à chacun ses propres créations mélodiques ! Claude Delangle Natif de New York, Jeff Gardner a étudié le piano classique avec Ruth Shontal et Ivan Tcherepnin, le piano jazz avec Hall Overton, Jaki Byard, John Lewis, Don Friedman, et Charles Banacos, et l'harmonie avec Nadia Boulanger. II enchaîne tournées et festivals avec des artistes tels que Kenny Wheeler, Nelson Veras, Norma Winstone, Steve Lacy, Freddie Hubbard, Paulo Moura, Eddie Harris, Gary Peacock, Bob Sheppard, Toninho Horta, Ndugu Chancler, Ran McClure, Lars Daniellson, André Ceccarelli, Hein van de Geyn, Alfredo Rodriguez, Marcia Maria, Karim Ziad, Flavio Boltro, Charlie Mariano, et le quatuor de pianos avec Jaki Byard, Martial Solal, et Paul Bley. Jeff a un total de seize CD's en tant que leader. Citons Continuum, avec Eddie Gomez et Bill Hart, Noches Habaneras, enregistré à La Havane avec Miguel 'Anga' Diaz, Julio Barreto, Felipe Cabrera, Orlando 'Maraca' Valle, et Diego Valdes, The Music of Chance, inspiré par les écrits de Paul Auster avec comme invités Rick Margitza et Ingrid Jensen, Alchemy, en duo avec Gary Peacock, Street Angels, Sky Dance avec Gilberto Gil, et Abraços avec Carlos Balla et Alberto Continentino (Terramar), tous les trois enregistrés à Rio.
