The Bluesier Side of Jazz by Andrew D. Gordon was inspired by the Piano students he teaches at Shepherd University School of Music in Los Angeles and is dedicated to those students: Jungwon Yumiko Yoko Eunice Sooji Hae Ji and Ok Kyu. As with many students that come from a classical background (including himself) it is a difficult transition to learn to play Blues and Jazz. When a musician improvises they usually play a variety of riffs or phrases that they have developed and learnt over a period of time and can access these phrases instantaneously whatever key they are playing in to create a seamless improvised solo from the phrases they havelearnt.Andrew's idea for this book is to create phrases or riffs over two measures of various Blues progressions. He sub-divided each of the 12 Bar Blues progressions used in this book (the chord progression for Watermelon Man is a 16 measure progression) into six sections (two measures each) and within each of the six sections created four different phrases or riffs so that the student has a choice of four different phrases to play over every two measures. They can then create a solo based on which phrase they choose for each two measures. By breaking down these phrases to two measures each he has found that the students have an easier time of learning to improvise than by trying to transcribe a whole solo from an audio recording or leaving them to their own devices in trying to play a solo based on the Blues scale or other related scales.Each of the ten examples are based on common Jazz/Blues chord progressions from Jazz songs such as 'Watermelon Man' 'Blue Monk' 'Tenor Madness' 'Route 66' 'Blue Trane' 'Bag's Groove' starting off with basic I-IV-V chords and increasing in complexity throughout the book. There are over 200 phrases/riffs to choose from that can be learned and applied to many types of jazz songs.

Boogie-Woogie And The Blues is dedicated to all the great Blues and Boogie-Woogie pianists who Andrew has had the privilege of listening to over the last 40 years. His first recollection of being inspired to learn Blues piano was in 1968 when he heard the Blues piano solo by Nicky Hopkins on the song ???Blues Deluxe??? from Jeff Beck???s first album ???Truth??? Just as that piano solo inspired him in turn he hopes these songs inspire you in the same way. The song ???Boogie with Nicky??? is dedicated to Nicky Hopkins. He hopes that you have the same enjoyment learning and playing these songs as he did creating them.There are nine songs in this book which Andrew composedranging from the slow Blues of H.R. Blues to the up-tempo Boogie-Woogie of Holly and Ben???s Boogie as well as the Ragtime feel of Raggedy Blues. Beside learning from this book it is important to listen to the masters of Blues and Boogie-Woogie piano styles a discography on page 2 will get you started.'You have so imaginatively integrated traditional blues sounds in a new and innovative way. I myself have been in what I call a 'riff rut'. Studying this book is going to open my mind immensely. I am really excited about practicing these tunes.' - User feedback

John Jackson grew up in rural Virginia listening to the older musicians around him and the blues stars whose records he heard on his family's wind-up phonograph. For a while in his youth he played at country dances but mostly he just picked the guitar and banjo for his own amusement and his tastes ranged from the Piedmont blues of Blind Blake Josh White and Blind Boy Fuller to the hillbilly yodels of Jimmie Rodgers and an old-time banjo style that reached back to the 19th century.?I can play most anything I put my mind to if I want to ? he would say with a big smile. ?Blues mountain hoedowns dance tunes... I don't get into soul or disco or rap music or nothing likethat but I ain't got anything against it; it just didn't come along when I did.?Jackson always seemed supremely relaxed and easy-going but under his friendly country manner he was an indefatigable worker. He recalled a time when musicians would walk twenty miles over dirt roads to get to a house party play till the wee hours of the morning then walk home and put in a full day on the farm and he kept numerous jobs most famously as a grave digger into his seventies. He was just as dedicated onstage an all-around entertainer who mixed his songs with jokes and stories and tried to give his audiences a sense not only of the music he loved but of the world that had produced it.That world is long gone but it lives on in the loping rhythms of Jackson's intricate guitar picking and the mellow flow of his honey-slow Virginia drawl. This is old-time back-porch country music played by a man who always seemed like he was just kicking back and enjoying himself with some friends but put all he had into every note.
