Review
I'm not a piano player (I wanted lessons from the lady across the road when I was young but my mother discouraged me from taking up music for whatever reason...); but I did jazz theory for guitar with the wonderfully talented and patient Geoff Carter once I left home. So reading this informative and readable text was both a pleasure and a positive learning experience: as it filled in so many keys areas about some of the great jazz players. I have already passed it on to my cousin Rob Rowe; and no doubt would like to re-read it someday.
