    About this ebook

    Scot Ranney's "Jazz Piano Notebook" series is a collection of jazz piano books written by Scot Ranney and other professional jazz pianists. The authors of these books share their favorite jazz piano ideas in the form of a dozen or so jazz piano sheet music exercises, grooves, chord progressions, improvisation ideas, jazz theory, and anything else they find interesting based on their years of performing on stage, composing, and practicing. Volume 2 is called "Latinesque" because more than half of the book focuses on Calypso jazz piano. There are exercises, progressions, and grooves, including an exploration of a calypso groove inspired by Monty Alexander. The intention of this book is to help you improve your chops and creativity, and to strengthen that connection between what you hear internally and what your fingers are playing. Level: Easy to difficult depending on the piece.
