Hi all,
For a while now i've been running a free online page with some jazz licks, some harmonic discussion, even some jazz ear training and all with backing tracks to play to.
I initially posted it with single line players in mind, but of course jazz pianists do as much single line playing as horn players (depending on your style). So if you're new, (or semi new) to the genre please have a look.
On the page there's pdf links for a variety of instruments. Just click on the "C treble" part.
There's also a few youtube links on the page you might to have a look at too for a "more personal touch".

Hope you like it.

Volume 1 of this educational jazz piano book contains 15 jazz piano exercises, tricks, and other interesting jazz piano techniques, voicings, grooves, and ideas Scot Ranney enjoys playing.
Volume 2 has 14 jazz piano exercises and tricks of the trade, and quite a bit of it is Calypso jazz piano related material, including some Monty Alexander and Michel Camilo style grooves. Jazz piano education is through the ears, but books like this can help.
Volume 3 contains 12 jazz piano exercises and explorations by the acclaimed jazz piano educator, pianist, author, and recording artist Tim Richards.
Tim wrote the well known "Exploring Jazz Piano" and "Improvising Blues Piano" books and has several others to his name.
Volume 4 is by Jeff Brent, a jazz pianist, composer, teacher, and author of "Modalogy" and other acclaimed jazz theory and education books. In this book Jeff shares detailed analysis of transcriptions of live performances. He covers everything from the shape of the songs to the tricks and licks he uses in improvised lines to the ideas behind his lush chord voicings.
