Book Reviews of Harmonic Foundation for Jazz and Popular Music

Book Review: Excellent Book
Summary: 5 Stars

I am a mediocre piano player with some knowledge of chords, majors, minors, diminished, 10ths, 7ths, 9ths, etc..., but lack a real understanding of how to properly structure and use the chords when I play. I often struggle with creating the right harmony of notes.

I just started reading and practicing the first chapter and analyzing how Jimmy Amadie's instruction fits my style of creating chords. So far I can say Jimmy's chord structure rules are excellent. Over the next year or two I hope to work through each page of the book and practice at my leisure using his guidance to fully enhance my sound.

I am very pleased and look forward to what I will learn in each chapter right through to the very last page.
