Progress

This book is designed for the pianist/keyboardist with moderate technical skills and reading ability who desires to play jazz styles and learn to improvise from reading chord symbols. It is an ideal self-teaching book for keyboardists in high school and junior high jazz ensembles. Unique features of this book include chords and progressions written out in all keys (not just written in one key with a complicated formula for figuring out all the other keys), a simple fingering system which applies to all keys, and coverage of improvising and solo playing.

Andrew D. Gordon presents a comprehensive guide to some of the best Blues riffs that every boogie-Piano player needs to know. All styles are covered, including Blues, Rock, Rhythm and Blues, Boogie Woogie and Gospel. The book begins with a simple guide to Blues song constructions, before presenting a library of melodies, turns, runs and rhythms arranged in progressive order of difficulty.
An accompanying CD features demonstration recordings of each riff, with the left and right-hand parts split between the left and right channels of the recording allowing you to use your stereo's balance control to isolate the part you need to hear.
