Das Jazz Piano Buch behandelt fundamentale Techniken und fortgeschrittene Spielweisen der Zeitspanne von Bud Powell bis zur Gegenwart. Der Aufbau dieses Buches ist etwas ungewöhnlich. Anstatt alle Voicings in einem Kapitel und den ganzen Theoriekomplex in einem anderen Kapitel zu behandeln, wechseln sich die Themen im Verlauf dieses Buches ab. Einfachere Sachverhalte schreiten zu komplexeren Techniken fort. Musiktheoretische Fragen werden immer anhand von Transkriptionen und Stücken erläutert, die von Jazzmusikern häufig gespielt werden. Die Auswahl reicht von Standards wie Just Friends bis zu Wayne Shorters ungewöhnlicher und wunderschöner Ballade Infant Eyes. Obwohl sich Das Jazz Piano Buch in erster Linie an Pianisten wendet, erleichtern die visuellen Vorteile, die das Piano bietet, allen anderen Instrumentalisten und Vokalisten den Zugang zur Harmonik des Jazz. Es ist jedoch keine Lehnstuhllektüre, sondern ein Buch, das zum Üben und Erforschen am Piano inspiriert. Aus dem Inhalt: Intervalle und Dreiklänge ein Überblick; die Modi der Durskala und die II-V-I Verbindung; dreistimmige Voicings; sus und phrygische Akkorde; das Erweitern von dreistimmigen Voicings; Tritonussubstitution; Left-Hand Voicings; alterierte Töne in Left-Hand Voicings; Skalentheorie; Skalen in der Praxis; So What-Akkorde; Quartenakkorde; Upper Structures; pentatonische Skalen; Voicings; Stride und Bud Powell Voicings; Viertonskalen; Blockakkorde; Salsa und Latin Jazz; Comping; Üben; Hören; eine ausführliche Diskographie.

Rather this is an approach to unlocking the limitless harmonic possibilities which are unique to the piano. This approach can be developed in a personal manner through a lifetime without ever exhausting the creative possibilities. Of course, it is also applicable to jazz composing and arranging. The book includes hundreds of musical examples and five compositions by Bill Dobbins.

With Reading Key Jazz Rhythms:Piano Book & CD set by Fred Lipsius, you will learn essential jazz rhythms first hand from world-class professionals! Reading Key Jazz Rhythms is a collection of 24 easy to medium level jazz etudes, and 24 simplified guide tone versions of the etudes. They are ideal for learning the basic language of jazz, swing phrasing, and articulation. A perfect tool for preparing for the jazz ensemble or for any other ensemble/orchestra which performs jazz related music (pops orchestras, musical, studio, movie scores, concert and marching bands, etc.). Each etude is based on a specific rhythm or a combination of rhythmic figures. Some etudes sound like very lyrical improvised jazz solos, while others are more like a melody to a standard. On the accompanying CD the soloist demonstrates the 24 melodious etudes together with a professional rhythm section. You can also improvise along with the play-along tracks using the chord symbols. The guide tones are the essential for defining notes for each given chord type. So if improvising is new to you and you find yourself getting lost, you can always return to a guide tone and play rhythmically around it. Any etude and its corresponding simplified guide tone version can be played together as a duet (with or without the CD accompaniment) with your teacher or a friend.

The Evolution of Solo Jazz Piano is a study of solo piano styles developed by 24 of the most influential solo pianists from 1900 to the present. In order to clearly illustrate the specific contributions of the various pianists, Bill Dobbins composed a theme based on the well-known standard All of Me. By applying the stylistic approaches of the different pianists to the same theme, one becomes aware of the subtle yet evocative elements of each individual style. Common elements between Waller, Ellington, Tatum, Monk and Rowles, Tatum, Hines and Wilson, Smith and Ellington, Corea and Beirach etc., should make it clear that musical individuality is largely the result of the subconscious emphasis of some musical elements over others, rather than the self-conscious cultivation of originality for its own sake. We sincerely hope that this DVD may serve as a stimulus toward the further study of the solo jazz piano tradition in particular and for creative music in general. Titles: Part 1: Traditional Styles Scott Joplin * Jelly Roll Morton * James P. Johnson * Willie The Lion Smith * Earl Fatha Hines * Thomas Fats Waller * Teddy Wilson * Duke Ellington * Art Tatum * Meade Lux Lewis * Pete Johnson * Jimmy Yancey * Part 2: Modern Styles Thelonious Monk * Bud Powell * Oscar Peterson * Erroll Garner * Lennie Tristano * Bill Evans * Clare Fischer * Jimmy Rowles * Cecil Taylor * Chick Corea * Keith Jarrett * Richie Beirach.

Die Evolution des Solo Jazz Pianos ist eine Studie über 24 der einflussreichsten Solo Jazz Piano Stile, von 1900 bis heute. Um die spezifischen Beiträge der einzelnen Pianisten deutlich zu veranschaulichen, komponierte Bill Dobbins ein Thema, das auf der Akkordfolge des bekannten Standards All of Me basiert. Durch die Übertragung der stilistischen Eigenheiten auf ein und dasselbe Thema ist es möglich, die subtilen aber trotzdem einprägsamen Elemente jedes Stiles klar zu erkennen. Gemeinsamkeiten zwischen Waller, Ellington, Tatum, Monk und Rowles, Tatum, Hines und Wilson, Smith und Ellington, Corea und Beirach etc. veranschaulichen, dass musikalische Individualität größtenteils das Ergebnis unbewusster Bevorzugung bestimmter musikalischer Elemente ist, und nicht die Kultivierung der Originalität um ihrer selbst willen. Wir hoffen aufrichtig, daß diese DVD das Interesse am Solo Jazz Piano aber auch an kreativer Musik im allgemeinen anregt.
