This book is an English translation of "the Jazz Piano Professional Chord Work Vol.5 (ASIN B09PMZPRNB)" published in Japan to make it more accessible to English speakers. This book takes 23 standard numbers that have become jam session classics and explains the "chord voicing" for jazz piano. Both left-hand-only and two-hand approaches are included, as well as all the basic scales that can be applied to each chord. To build a "jazzy" sound, you need to decipher the essential notes and jazzy notes (tensions) from the chord symbols, and think about chord voicing so that it leads smoothly to the next chord. Figuring this out from scratch can be a very difficult task for beginners. This book contains the framework of the sounds played by professional jazz pianists, and is beneficial for those who want to learn the "right" way.
