What's this piece like?
Note from Oscar Peterson about this album:
"Jazz piano can be a very enjoyable musical experience from a listening standpoint, to everyone, both adult and youngster alike. However, when a person, whether studied or not classically speaking, attempts to enter the Jazz world from a playing aspect, he often finds himself hamstrung by many varied musical inadequacies. Very few people truly ever attribute their lack of ability to the proper cause, I feel. Many of them blame what they term their creative inability to conceive jazz phrases, without stopping to realize that a jazz technique in many ways is a completely new form of technique when compared with the classical. It is with this primary aspect in mind that I have conceived this set of beginner's exercises."
Who's this piece for?
An excellent piece for intermediate level pianists who are working on their technique.
