The Jazz Piano Book covers fundamental techniques and advanced playing styles from the era of Bud Powell to the present day. The structure of this book is somewhat unconventional. Instead of addressing all voicings in one chapter and the entire theory complex in another, the topics alternate throughout the book. Simpler concepts progress to more complex techniques. Music theoretical questions are always explained using transcriptions and pieces that are frequently played by jazz musicians. The selection ranges from standards like Just Friends to Wayne Shorter's unusual and beautiful ballad Infant Eyes. Although The Jazz Piano Book primarily targets pianists, the visual advantages that the piano offers make it easier for all other instrumentalists and vocalists to access the harmony of jazz.
