I don't need to have strong classical technique to start playing a little jazz. Other jazz piano methods I've seen tend to demand a higher level of fundamental knowledge than this book does.Second, the website has accompanying backing tracks. That helps with motivation and rhythm. Practicing is more fun with the backing tracks, and I can adjust the tempo as needed, which is helpful as well. As others mentioned, this book focuses a lot on rhythm and feel, and playing with a virtual ensemble is the second best thing to playing in a real jazz band to develop those skills.Third, it introduces ear training, theory, and improvisation in a logical way. Each chapter consists of a number of licks you learn, some call-and-response (transcription) for ear training, some improv, and a performance piece in the style introduced.Overall, it's an excellent book. I look forward to book 2 and hopefully a lifetime of jazz to come. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rhythm, ear-training and improvisation *by R***L on March 20, 2020* There isn't much Jazz theory here. Barely anything I hadn't learned from Mark Harrison's brief introductory Blues e-book. You're not going to learn Jazz chords, and the basic scales (Blues, Pentatonic) only show up in chapters 7-10. Instead, the focus is all rhythm, ear-training and improvisation.It does a great job of making you attuned to subtle differences in rhythm. The improvisation section begins with ear training, where you have to spit back exactly what you hear. I was absolutely terrible at this at first. For improv, the author begins by giving you just three notes to work with. What can you do with that, other than play with rhythm and phrasing? He also doesn't give you much advice, instead letting you develop you own sense of what sounds good. What would be less Jazz than someone telling you how to improvise?As far as difficulty, I tackled the book after going through the first two Alfred's Adult books, although I maybe could have started after only the first. It isn't for piano newbies. Also, I think this book has value even for people who don't want to play Jazz. Last, the book is enjoyable to go through, more so than if it had been all scales and chords. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ At last I can count music! *by W***R on August 21, 2020* I have "played" the piano for over 60 years, and yet had never learned how to count music and therefore never appreciated rhythm. Eric Baumgartner has mastered the art of teaching how to count music to me, an older learner! His approach to helping the reader understand how the various notes are counted, along with his careful approach to when one should practice is clear and easy. Included with his very reasonably priced book is an online app to hear what you are practicing is supposed to sound like (with and without accompaniment). Clearly brilliant.Eric has clearly provided more evidence to me that we are never too old to learn! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/115479064-jazz-piano-basics-book-1-a-logical-method-for-enhancing](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/115479064-jazz-piano-basics-book-1-a-logical-method-for-enhancing) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
