| dperkins -- 09/23/2007, 14:27:54 -- #37235 | |
| Does anyone recommend an intermediate/advanced book that has a good layout for a jazz instructional program? I don't want to spend the money on a teacher, but I do need the structure and guidance of lessons. Any help would be appreciated. | |

| Great suggestions! I have Metaphors for the Musician and find it to be more "spritual" or "abstract" than practical. But if you disagree, please tell me and I will look at it again. I've had it for years. I also have the Jazz Piano Book by Mark Levine and found that each lesson is a bit short and I need more explanation. It's a good one, though. Does anyone know any books that do a good job of explaining improvisation techniques? | |

| I think the Dave Frank books would be good for you since you mention you don't want to be with a private instructor. All his examples are recorded so you get to here how they sound. | |

| Hi, If you're going to post links to your commercial site, I would sure appreciate it if you'd put a link to learnjazzpiano.com on it, it would be the decent thing to do. Scot | |
