ABRSM Jazz Piano Pieces
"What good is music if it ain't got that swing?" Duke Ellington
ABRSM responds with "Jazz Piano", a comprehensive introduction to the world of jazz. A pioneering set of publications and a rigorously planned syllabus provide the building bloacks you need to play jazz with imagination, understanding and style and to improvise effectively right from the start.
Five books of graded pieces provide a wealth of jazz repertoire for you to play, from the great African-American tradition to the vibrant, dynamic and multi-cultural nature of jazz today. Throughout, there is a huge range of styles: funky rock grooves, up tempo swiing tunes, calypsos, a bossa and other latin pieces, jazz waltzes, modal pieces, bebop style, gospel style, a rag, free jazz. There are classic tunes by the jazz greats including Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, Bill Evans and Thelonious Monk. And there are brand-new pieces specially commissioned from professional British jazz pianists and educators, providing an exciting snapshop of the contemporary scene.
Within each album there are 15 pieces presented in three categories - blues, standards and contemporary jazz. Each piece provides a head which contains all the characteristic voicings, phrasing and rhythmic patterns needed for a stylish performance.
An improvised section follows, where guideline pitches and left-hand voicings are given as a practical starting-point for your own solos. Accessible, student-centered and at the highest musical standards, these pieces will get you playing jazz confidently and creatively.
Pieces, scales, quick studies, aural tests, how-to book - this set of materials provides a complete progressive method for playing jazz piano from scratch. So "give that rhythm everything you got!"
