Summary of This Method
Written by Mark Levine, a renowned pianist and experienced educator, this method is aimed at pianists who want to understand and master the codes of jazz through a structured approach. It offers a genuine learning path, from essential foundations (intervals, triads, major modes) to key jazz language progressions such as the II-V-I. Concepts are presented with accessible explanations and, above all, with concrete piano examples, facilitating daily practice and the assimilation of harmonic reflexes.
The book places particular emphasis on voicings and accompaniment: 3-note voicings, sus and Phrygian color chords, progressive enrichment of inversions, left-hand voicing work, and note transformations to achieve modern sounds. You will also explore major concepts such as tritone substitution, stride and Bud Powell-style voicings, as well as block chords and comping, to develop a solid, musical, and stylistically accurate accompaniment style. Thanks to chord names and educational texts, this method is a long-term resource for working on harmony, independence, and jazz color on the piano.
