A must have for all pianists seeking a creative approach to developing left and right hand coordination. The exercises and solos (based on the chord changes to well-known standards) are rhythmic, colorful, and fun to play. The chapters cover six specific areas of left hand development and left/right hand integration, with practical application from standard jazz tunes in the form of musical solo piano pieces. This book will definitely be an essential part of your practice routine. Besides improving your hand coordination, it will challenge you to think differently about it. All of the concepts are easily applicable to the real world. Highly endorsed! Pianist Emiko Hayashi has written a very comprehensive, challenging yet very accessible method book. With exercises designed for left hand alone and exercises designed to develop interplay between the hands, I wholeheartedly recommend this book. I\'ve already started practicing! - Kenny Barron In Etudes for Jazz Piano Emiko Hayashi illuminates a challenge that faces scores of jazz pianists at all levels; that of integrating the left hand in improvisation in a meaningful way, not only as an accompanist, but as an integral part of the whole. By taking various jazz standards and creating etudes specifically for the left hand as well as for developing coordination and the conversational aspects between the left and right hands, Ms. Hayashi illustrates many possibilities for expanding one�s technical and expressive range. I would think this set of etudes would be extremely useful to jazz pianists at any stage of development since the obvious outcome of the study will improve one�s ability to play melodically and expressively throughout the keyboard, without regard to the traditional roles of the left and right hands. - Todd Coolman It is understood that all musicians must play piano. Emiko\'s book fills a void for non-pianists addressing specific technical problems which will help towards being able to use the piano to improve and enlarge one\'s playing and composing, no matter what instrument you play. This is a hands-on book directed towards immediate results. - David Liebman

?Mili Bermejo?s Vocal Jazz Improvisation is the most comprehensive vocal book I have ever seen on improvisation. Her years of research and her wisdom and artistry leave no stones unturned. I would recommend this book to instrumentalists as well, to develop their ears and breadth of expression.?
?Jerry Bergonzi, Jazz Saxophonist, Composer, Author, Educator

?I have been a huge fan of Mili as an artist for many years now, and have admired her impeccable skills as a teacher for just as long. Seeing Mili perform in duo with Dan Greenspan is one of the great wonders of the world. They make voice and bass seem like an orchestra, harmonically rich and complete, and emotionally compelling. How lucky for us that Mili has written a book on improvisation from her own assured and gracious vantage point. Her approach is accessible, organic, personal, and best of all, inspiring! She takes the fear factor out and provides tools to make improvisation a truly creative and joyful experience.?

Mili?s music speaks to the heart, overflowing with humanity, joy, and compassion, and this book does the same. Mili traces a clear path, guiding us step by step along the way. She draws on her own experience, which I must say reflects all vocalists? experience, as we walk this fascinating journey of jazz singing.?

En quelques années d?existence, La Partition intérieure s?est largement imposée dans les domaines du jazz et des musiques improvisées. Chacun s?y retrouvera, selon ses besoins du moment ; qu?il soit débutant, improvisateur chevronné, enseignant, critique, musicien curieux, esprit ouvert.


Abondance des matériels, des matières et des manières.
Chaque partie approfondit un aspect de l?action (l?improvisation, le son, le rythme, la mélodie, l?harmonie, les formes et la construction du récit, le jeu en orchestre). On y retrouve chaque fois un déroulement progressif : notions de base, pratique habituelle, et enfin démarches plus complexes.

Passerelles
Plusieurs traditions se mêlent : non seulement le jazz et les musiques improvisées actuelles, mais également les musiques classiques, populaires, contemporaines, extra-occidentales. De nombreux points de vue se croisent sans cesse ; les matières dialoguent avec les manières, l?action avec la réflexion, la technique avec l?expression personnelle, la précision avec l?inspiration. Le lecteur choisira ses manières de cheminer : creuser un sujet, grappiller selon ses envies, rebondir grâce aux multiples chemins de traverse.

Danse intérieure
L?abondance et les passerelles ne sont là que pour mettre en appétit. Pas question de se substituer à l?essentiel ? l?écoute, la mémoire, la sensibilité, la verve intelligente, la fragilité et l?incertitude, la fraîcheur de l?imagination, le plaisir du jeu. La Partition intérieure, en faisant dialoguer action et réflexion, technique et expression, invite le lecteur à élargir ses horizons afin d?éveiller la danse intérieure qui donne vie à toute improvisation. / Livre / Agrafé /
