Sinopsis

AN INSIDER'S GUIDE TO UNDERSTANDING AND LISTENING TO JAZZ A riveting and enlightening introduction to what jazz is, and how it works, from the unique perspective of a professional jazz pianist who demonstrates that 'jazz is great music, plain and simple. When it becomes even slightly familiar to people, it invariably wins them over'. What Jazz Is takes the reader through the core ideas and elements of jazz - melody, rhythm, harmony and improvisation - and the contribution made by each instrument. He teaches the language of jazz and interweaves passionate descriptions of the great players such as Thelonius Monk and John Coltrane and his own contemporaries, such as Kenny Jarrett and Joshua Redman.
