Summary of This Method
Titled Bebop Jazz Piano - The Complete Guide Hal Leonard Keyboard Style Series Keyboard Style Series Softcover Audio Online, this method offers a structured and progressive approach to understanding and mastering the bebop language on piano. Author John Valerio gathers essential tools to develop an authentic playing style: chord and voicing construction, harmonic logic, typical chord progressions, scale choices, tonality work, and essential melodic landmarks.
Throughout the chapters, you will find figures and patterns frequently used in the bebop vocabulary, as well as in-depth work on comping (the art of accompaniment) to gain rhythmic fluidity and harmonic relevance. The method also relies on characteristic tunes and addresses stylistic elements related to two major pianists, Bud Powell and Thelonious Monk, to better grasp the intentions, attack, and spirit of bebop jazz.
The supplementary audio, accessible online via a unique code inside the book, includes many examples played solo or with a full band, allowing you to immediately hear the intended musical result. At the end of the book, combo performances of five pieces reinforce learning through listening and imitation. The audio files include PLAYBACK+, a handy player to slow down without changing pitch, create loops, transpose, and isolate left/right channels-ideal for refining your timing and ear.
