And yet, after deciphering symbols relating to standards, an excellent harmony was found out, far exceeding what was written in illegal at that time real books.

Later it saved me time while studying Mark Levine's book ' The Jazz Pianist.' At the same time, I didn't like the system of chord symbols in the form of numbered steps with numbers this is practical for transpositions but in the end it did not enter into professional skills. It had the value of gold, and I made great efforts in order to derive the maximum benefit from it. Volume 1 was my first practical book (more precisely, its photocopy) for jazz piano while still in the USSR in 1971. Even so, jazz piano is calling, and I'm adding in a few exercises, for example, the circle of fifths in 'shell voicings.' I don't think this will interfere or distract from my classical studies.ДЄnyway, I wonder if anyone has experience with this book. Don't want to try to do too much too soon. But Mehegan, and Jazz in general, is above my skill level right now. I enjoy all this music, and my teacher approves of it, and I am making progress. I have been studying piano for two years now (as an older adult), and my material includes simple Bach, Burgmuller, Czerny, Clementi, Kabalevsky, Paul Harris sightreading books, beginning Chopin and Schuman, etc. But I think it's probably too soon for me to do that. The next step would be to go back to the beginning and dig into all the songs, exercises, etc. I finished reading through it quickly, not trying to work through all the many difficult sections, but reading the theories and principles enough to get an idea of the breadth and depth of the book. Has anyone read or studied this book? I picked it up because my teacher spoke favorably of it.
