Jazz Club, Klavier (mit 2 CDs)

"Jazz Club" offers a playful introduction to jazz and aims to alleviate the common apprehension surrounding improvisation and jazz theory. Interested individuals can start by playing 10 groovy pieces from various styles along with the play-alongs, allowing them to become familiar with the sound of jazz. Solos, chords, and rhythms are written out, and players can choose to improvise or accompany freely, but it is not mandatory. The pieces are organized into 5 chapters, each focusing on a specific jazz-related theme. For those who wish to delve deeper into the subject, there are exercises along with play-alongs covering topics such as jazz phrasing, tempo and rhythm, improvisation, form, and effects. The publications thus follow the path from pieces to theory rather than the other way around.
