Summary of This Method
Designed as a true working guide, this method offers a detailed exploration of jazz music through its backbone: harmony and its immediate application in improvisation. The author, Jeff Gardner (pianist and composer born in New York in 1953), draws on a solid musical background (classical piano, jazz piano, and harmony) to structure a path that is both demanding and extremely educational. It features a precise approach to scales related to chords, progressions, and harmonic logics that help understand "why it sounds right," then transform this understanding into musical language.
Throughout the pages, the method emphasizes essential reflexes: analyzing a chord chart, identifying functions, choosing relevant colors (tensions), and developing jazz-specific phrases methodically. The whole is packed with concrete ideas for practice, organizing revisions, and consolidating fundamentals while expanding your palette. This work, praised for its rigor and musical value, is aimed at both students and experienced musicians wishing to strengthen their mastery of progressions and improvisation.
The included disc (reference HL26504D ) supports practice and facilitates assimilation through listening. Audio content: City at the Bottom of the Sea, Song for Villa-Lobos, DNA Dance, Tao, Prelude to a Kiss, Blues for Alice, Byarding, Hidden Force, Blues for Hawk, Moment's Notice, Motivation, Very Early, Vertigo, Whirlwind, We'll Say Hello Again.
