Soloing is an important part of playing, but practicing alone doesn't always get the creative juices flowing. There is nothing like the experience of sitting in with a full band. Though playing with a group isn't possible every time students want to practice and jam, Sitting In: Jazz Piano brings the band to them anytime so they can practice comping patterns and soloing with the same energy as playing live. This book and DVD-ROM package offers tips and techniques to give life to practice sessions and inspire pianists to add new sounds to their jazz vocabulary. Additional features include: high-quality studio play-along recordings performed by a live band; progressions in the most important jazz styles including standards, modern jazz, bebop, Latin jazz, ballads, and more; recordings that include sample solos with repeated progressions so soloists can improvise freely; soloing tips featuring scales, modes, comping patterns, and other ideas to develop the jazz vocabulary; and an overview and listening suggestions for each tune. A must for every serious jazz piano student!
