Book Reviews of Jazz Chord Hanon: 70 Exercises for the Beginning to Professional Pianist
Book Review: Jazz pianist tool for improvement
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this book because I had had some success with the traditional classic Hanon drills and upon taking up jazz piano, I wanted something to keep myself occupied when I missed a lesson or my teacher was away, or whatever. I found this to be probably the single best book for practicing jazz technique. Many of the exercises are based on the all important cycle (or circle) of fifths and the ii-V-I progression, but before long, it moves to scales, dominant sevenths, diatonic progressions, etc. After breezing through the first few exercises (what jazz pianist doesn't learn the cycle of fifths and ii-V-I on the first day and practice it every day for a month, without a book?), the exercises suddenly increased in difficulty and "esoteric-ness". In fact, my only real dig against this book is that it gets complex and difficult pretty fast. The only other thing I don't like is the fact that there is no explanation of what exactly you are practicing and why - just, here's some notes, good luck! (I usually get my instructor to fill in the blanks.) Still, I consider this a valuable tool in my jazz piano advancement, and I continue to use it on a regular basis. If you are a jazz pianist who occasionally needs some structure from outside besides your piano teacher, this book should fill that gap nicely.
