This book with two CDs focuses on how pianists play (or comp) behind jazz soloists. It's a step-by-step guide to basic comping of rhythms, voicings, and progressions as played by the masters. Numerous transcriptions from jazz masters (including Horace Silver, Barry Harris, Bud Powell, Tadd Dameron and more) are used to dig deeply into how jazz pianists help make the rhythm section swing and provide a background for soloists. More than 80 comping exercises help pianists secure the concepts while the two CDs contain demonstrations and play-along tracks. A "must-have" for jazz pianists!

Originally developed specifically for beginning jazz improvisers, this newly revised edition now includes easy three-horn arrangements for each tune with separate pages for each horn player! Each tune includes harmony parts for the melody, background parts behind the soloists, ensemble shout choruses and more. These 41 jazz songs, many of which are jazz standards, are easy to play, easy to learn, and fun to play. They represent the entire spectrum of the idiom, including swing, bebop, post-bop, contemporary, funk, jazz/rock, and Latin styles. The format is exceptionally user-friendly. With the book open, the music for each song is on the left-hand page. The right-hand page is a special page of supplemental material (sample piano voicings, useful scales, guitar voicings, bass lines, etc.) specifically tailored to that song. Get students, or your young jazz combo, sounding great right away with the first fake book ever designed for the beginning improviser.

In addition, this volume has an entertaining and informative historical text introducing each section that includes innovations that happened in each era.
