This book is one of the most widely used sources of real jazz riffs as played by professionals. Authored by Andrew G. Gordon, a professional session musician for over 40 years, this book is an excellent source for phrases professional pianists use in such styles as jazz, funk, swing, Latin, ballad, and jazz waltz.
The cd includes examples of all the riffs, with right and left hands recorded on separate channels for play along purposes. Many are re-recorded at slower tempos also.
