Summary of This Method
This method is designed for pianists who wish to deeply understand the playing style of one of the most influential musicians in jazz history. The goal is not just to "reproduce" pieces, but to identify what makes the signature of a great performer: the sound, the touch, the management of space, voice leading, as well as the way to make the tempo breathe.
The included CD guides you at every step: you have demonstrations showing how the pieces should be interpreted, with particular attention to feel and precision of playing. For more effective practice, the solo parts are placed on one side of the stereo mix: you can listen to them isolated to analyze the details, or conversely reduce them to play in context, "jamming" with the accompaniment. Passages that require closer listening are also offered in slowed-down versions, perfect for securing transitions, clarifying fingerings, and stabilizing complex timing.
