- - - HEY NOW...Tim Price Bloggin' for Rico Reeds,,,,with a holiday bonus blog!PIANO...for saxophonists. ( and instrumentalists that play jazz.)This is a blog about piano voicing in jazz, and pop, for the non-pianist to better understand the function and harmony of the music.If you're a non-pianist musician looking to understand the basics of Jazz piano - this is for you.Here are two simple voicings,though II-V-Is in all keys.I developed this as the text for a basic one-semester course for music majors, and if you work at this every day, within four months you'll be able to comp off a lead sheet with confidence, and comp II-V chords with your students for instruction. This is not all inclusive- it is the tip of the iceberg.Try these, and part 2 is on it's way next week.
AND SOME ALTERATIONS TO THE V7 Chord ; ; ; ;
