Jazz Chords On Piano by Tormod Vinsand (2017).
A methodical introduction to the understanding and usage of jazz chords on piano.
Over the years, manynon-pianists ( i.e. musicianswho do not use the piano as their main instrument) have tried to transfer the principles of traditional triads and tetrachords to jazz chords - with varying degrees of success.
With the book'Jazz Chords on Piano' Tormod Vinsand gives you some guidelines that may help demystify the process of making a piano arrangement with melody and jazz chords.
The reader will get tools making it possible to create apianoarrangement, which will adequately include the melodics, harmonics and rhythm of a composition.
The book is not meant to be a school in jazz piano - but more an introduction into the work with jazz harmonics and melodyplaying of a piano arrangement.
The overall basis of the book is standard jazz, which means jazz with its harmonic basis in II - V - I connections.
The book's tunes are recorded by the composer himself and can beaccessed via the web.
