Valerio's 'Latin Jazz Piano' is a valuable addition for any collaborative pianist. It delves into the pianist's accompanying rhythm section role, providing solid instruction on comping and montunos vital for supporting vocalists or instrumentalists. This method ensures you develop a nuanced and authentic accompaniment texture rooted in traditional Latin styles, moving beyond simple melody doubling. A strong resource for technical development.

As an adult learner, I'm having a blast with this Latin Jazz Piano guide! It makes learning traditional Cuban and Brazilian styles so approachable and fun. The "complete guide" structure ensures steady progress, and the online audio with PLAYBACK+ is amazing for practicing chord voicings and montunos at my own pace. It's truly rewarding to start sounding like the real thing. Definitely pick this up!
