Jeff shares a treasure trove of fun and engaging material with aspiring jazz musicians of all levels. I hope you have a fun time playing these and that you learn some things along the way. Find tempos that work for you and that allow you to sound good and execute the material. The recorded tempos are for example only so it doesn’t matter if you play them slower to faster than the recording when you’re playing them on your own. Some of these might be pretty challenging but it’s always good to have things to work on that take some extra effort. I think this book has something for everyone. I chose the chord changes to standard jazz repertoire that I thought would be familiar, beneficial, and fun to play. I recommend taking them quite slowly at first and eventually build them up to an excruciatingly fast tempo that makes your keys smoke from the friction!! Well, I DO recommend starting slowly. If not, please listen to the examples and try to imitate how the etudes are being played. If this is already a familiar musical language and style for you, choose your own tempo and just start playing. If you want to play through them with backing tracks, which is best, I recommend getting the iRealPro app so you can change the various settings to your liking. The solo etudes are performed by some of my favorite piano players…Russell Ferrante, Howard Levy, Chris Walters, Jeff Babko, Pat Coil, and David Rodgers.

I have provided free MP3 streaming and downloads below so you can hear and get a feel for the solos. I originally played and then transcribed them on flute (also available as 10 Improvisational Flute Etudes, 10 Improvisational Clarinet Etudes, 10 Improvisational Alto Sax Etudes, 10 Improvisational Tenor Sax Solos, 10 Improvisational Trumpet Solos) and they work great for piano too! What you have here are my 10 IMPROVISATIONAL PIANO ETUDES.
