If you're looking for a detailed, comprehensive method to progress at jazz piano, critics agree this is one of the best options available: "I cannot praise it too highly... Vol. 1 and 2 together rank among the best instructional books that I have seen in the 21 years since Jazzwise started." - Charles Alexander, JAZZWISE Magazine

"Richards' approach is methodical, thorough and progressive. No shortage of useful information, much of it illuminated by the two well-played and well-produced CDs that accompany the books. Years of fruitful and fascinating study to be had, and plenty of good advice." - Mark Gilbert, JAZZ REVIEW
