Master the Styles for Versatile Gigs
While not a typical fake book, this method is invaluable for any gigging musician wanting to truly understand Brazilian styles. The rhythmic and harmonic instruction helps internalize the authentic feel of Chôro, Samba, and Bossa Nova. I'm inferring chord symbols are present in the examples, crucial for improvisation. Mastering these styles expands my repertoire for requests on the fly.

Pure Enjoyment Learning Brazilian Piano!
As an adult learner, I absolutely love this book! It makes learning Brazilian styles like Bossa Nova and Samba so enjoyable. The online audio tracks with ensemble recordings are fantastic for practice and give me that 'sounding like the record' feel. The guided approach to rhythmic and harmonic vocabulary makes the learning process achievable and incredibly rewarding.

Builds Authentic Accompaniment Skills
Though a piano method, this book is a treasure for collaborative pianists. It dives deep into the rhythmic and harmonic foundations of Chôro, Samba, and Bossa Nova. Learning these core elements allows for creating truly authentic accompaniment textures that support a vocalist beautifully, rather than just doubling. Essential for anyone wanting to master Latin styles for singers.

A must have
I already own the Latin Jazz number of this collection, so I decided to continue with this number Brazilian Piano which I feel so glad for every cent I spent/invested on it. Bossanova, Samba, if you love those then you will love this book. Is not so difficult but yet requieres some elemental knowledge.
