What is the best way to learn jazz piano?

What are the building blocks of Jazz Piano?

  • I'm beginning to learn jazz piano, and I'd really appreciate any tips on what I should learn by way of scales and chords at whatnot to get me on the right track. Thank you so ...show more

  • Answer:

    Think about your voicings carefully. For example, don't voice the whole chord if you don't have to. Try just voicing the 3rd and the 7th. And open up your voicings. If you can. I don't really know, to be honest, I am experimenting with this stuff just now for the first time. I recommend you get a book on it. You can also try transcribing piano solos by greats such as Dave Brubeck and Hank Jones.
