Description

This book provides instruction on traditional Latin music from Cuba and Brazil, focusing on the three roles typically assumed by a jazz pianist: as a participant in an accompanying rhythm section; as a leading instrument within an ensemble; and as a solo performer. The accompanying audio includes numerous examples from the book, along with play-along combo tracks. Topics covered include chord voicings, comping, montunos, lead sheets, and more.

Access to the audio is available online through a unique code found within the book, allowing for streaming or downloading. The audio files feature PLAYBACK+, a versatile audio player that enables users to slow down the audio without altering the pitch, set loop points, change keys, and adjust the audio balance between left and right.
