The beauty of our chosen instrument is the ability to play alone- solo- without the accompaniment (or interference) of others. Anything you can dream up is fair game when you are playing solo. This series of lessons gives you the tools to do just that beginning in Part 1 with the explanation of the role of the right hand when playing solo jazz piano. Part 2 describes the left hand and Part 3 puts the two together while presenting common melodic and harmonic circumstances that affect the voicings: range, melodic activity and tensions. Part 4 shows you how to mix rootless voicings with spread voicings into your solo playing.
