Features: "Introduction to Jazz Piano - Blues Edition" is one of the author's series of introductory textbooks on jazz. This introductory textbook series consists of five major parts: this book, the already published Harmony Edition, the upcoming Walking Bass Edition (Flowing Bass), the Improvisation Edition, and the Practical Application Edition. As part of the jazz series, this book shares both close connections and distinct characteristics with the other parts. The Harmony Edition focuses on jazz harmony and serves as a textbook that applies jazz harmony to practical works, while the Blues Edition takes scales as its starting point, introducing and applying the unique blues major and minor scales. Since this book is part of the introductory series to jazz piano, it only addresses how to play and apply blues major and minor scales in jazz. For other jazz-related topics, please refer to the other textbooks in the same series.
