How do I learn Jazz piano?
Hi, I’ve decided to teach myself Jazz piano. Does anyone have any helpful website or books or anything that they’d recommend?
I’m a fairly advanced pianist at the moment, grade 8ish, and I’ve previously done some jazz saxophone.
Thanks for any responses.
Try some of these. This was my playlist for Jazz Fest in New Orleans about a month ago.
