The first of two Jazz Study books from the pen of John Kember, they are fantastic collections of studies and study pieces for the developing jazz pianist. Each book spans a host of jazz idioms from blues, trad and 'big band' to gospel, ballad and more reflective styles.
Jazz Piano Studies 1 concentrates on swing, anticipation, syncopation, chord sequences and walking bass. Both books contain hints and tips throughout to keep the performer on the right track.
