Jazz Student for 15 years. Book Doesnt Live Up To Hype. Mel O Another book that could be 5 pages long, poorly titled, despite its cool mid-century cover.Here's an approximation of the entire book or "creed" in a nutshell (5 note chord voicings):1) 2 notes with left hand (R+3rd, R+5th, R+6, R+7)2) 3 notes with right hand (3rd if not used in left hand plus any two extensions, 7th, 9th, 11th, 13th)3) Left hand and right hand "grips" shouldn't be anymore than a 7th apart from each other.4) Formula is essentially the same for all chord varieties, Maj, Min, Dom, Dim, Aug.this formula is neither new nor invented by jimmy amadie, so to name it as such is a bit pretentious. I would compare the w. "Excellent" according to ArtFan. There are several things that make this, I believe, the best starting point for a pianist who has no prior experience playing jazz, regardless of whether they are competent in other styles of music.First, Amadie does not beat around the bush or make the vague, unsubstantiated statements often found in other jazz books. You will not find advice like "play what you hear in your head", or "improvise over these modes." Instead, you will find a complete, immediately useful system for voicing chords and an intelligent sequence of practical exercises for learning this system and getting it under your fingers. It is two-handed voicin. Pure Excellence! Ricardo E Alvarez If I had to choose just 2 books on Jazz harmony/improv out of all that I’ve bought and downloaded in the last 10 years, this one would have be one of them (The other would be J.Amadie’s book on Improv!)It assumes nothing, it doesn’t beat around the bush, it cuts no corners, and every word written in it serves a purpose, and that purpose is immediately put to practice, not creating drills that might eventually help, but actually creating the thing itself (a palette of rich sounding fat chords that can be applied to any context) from the start.One thing I liked is as he mentions in the book, the goal through t

Learning Jimmy s harmonization methods will enhance your personal creativity, make the world of harmony a friendly world to explore, and create limitless possibilities. Unlike other jazz harmony books that simply provide a few harmonic choices, this book also teaches you how to "think" about jazz harmony - providing the "why to play" as well as the "what to play." This added dimension means you will never be at a loss for new harmonic ideas once you understand the rules of the "Amadiean Creed." For all instruments; students, teachers, arrangers, composers, and performers. In combination with his second book, "Jazz Improv: How To Play It And Teach It", which follows the evolution of jazz through a number of styles,
