Piano Pizzazz

Have just noticed that "Piano Pizzazz" has just come onto the kevin Mayhew website. This is a set of three books ranging from grade one to four . The idea behind it, is to learn to play jazz based pieces, but really play them in a jazz style. The three books gradually introduce the player to the secrets of jazz phrasing and there is a CD to listen to the pieces played with a rhythm section. There is also a section called "Intro-outro" where the player can learn little jazzy riffs, and there is an opportunity to improvise and take the music "somewhere else".

I haven't actually seen copies of the books yet, but this look nice and bright!!.
