I've always wanted to play jazz piano, and Mark Harrison's "Intro to Jazz Piano" makes it feel totally achievable. The book is really well laid out, and the online audio is a game-changer – it's like having a private lesson with a band! Learning the chords and rhythms for swing and bossa nova is so enjoyable. I'm finally starting to sound like a jazz pianist! Highly recommend for anyone starting out.

While primarily a piano method, this "Intro to Jazz Piano" is incredibly useful for any collaborative pianist or vocal coach looking to bolster their jazz understanding. The focus on jazz chords, voicings, and comping patterns provides the fundamental harmonic language needed to effectively support vocalists in jazz styles. The online full-band audio is perfect for internalizing these textures and rhythms.

Mark Harrison's "Intro to Jazz Piano" is a fantastic addition to my studio. The structured progression through jazz chords, comping, and soloing is clear and well-explained, making it suitable for intermediate students transitioning to jazz. The online audio with play-along tracks is invaluable for ear training and rhythmic precision. Hal Leonard's clean layout ensures students can focus on the music itself.

The digital audio does not work well. It is awkward to advance tracks.

Very good set of introductory lessons for jazz piano. The lessons take you step by step through increasingly complex chord structures. The on line audio tracks that support each lesson were very helpful. Well worth the money for an intermediate jazz player.
