Playing Solo Jazz Piano

Jeremy has done a remarkable job of organizing the whole history of jazz piano in the book you now hold. It is concise and yet open-ended simultaneously. All of the important concepts and historical styles are here, and presented in a way that is thorough and that will also stimulate you to investigate, listen, experiment and have fun with the world of solo jazz piano.
– Fred Hersch

Playing Solo Jazz Piano is now in its second edition with additional chapters and video content for each example.
